There is something inexpressibly sad in the thought of the children who crossed the ocean with the Pilgrims and the fathers of Jamestown, New Amsterdam, and Boston, and the infancy of those born in the first years of colonial life in this strange new world.

WHAT DOES NEW AMSTERDAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

New Amsterdam

New Amsterdam

New Amsterdam was a 17th-century Dutch settlement established at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, which served as the seat of the colonial government in New Netherland territory. It was renamed New York in 1665 in honor of the then Duke of York after English forces seized control of Manhattan Island, along with the rest of the Dutch colony. The settlement, outside of Fort Amsterdam on Manhattan Island, in the New Netherland, was a provincial extension of the Dutch Republic as of 1624. Situated on the strategic, fortifiable southern tip of the island of Manhattan, the fort was meant to defend the Dutch West India Company's fur trade operations in the North River. Fort Amsterdam was designated the capital of the province in 1625. The 1625 date of the founding of New Amsterdam is now commemorated in the official Seal of New York City.. Long considered a dysfunctional trading post by the English who took it over, historical research has found that the city indeed left its cultural marks on later New York, and by extension the United States.
