The History and Development of New York: From Dutch Settlement to British Control

New York has a rich history that began with Dutch settlers who established fur-trading posts along the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. As British settlers from New England sought westward expansion, tensions rose. In 1664, the English captured the colony, leading to a shift in governance under the Duke of York. This historical overview examines the various groups involved, including farmers, lumbermen, sailors, and merchants, and highlights the geography that shaped their lives, such as fertile valleys and rich iron resources.
