History

In 1664, the English seized control of New Amsterdam and renamed it New York in honor of the Duke of York. This change marked a significant shift for the settlement, setting the stage for its transformation into a major colonial center. By the 18th century, New York was a thriving port city and played a crucial role in the American Revolution. By the end of the 1700s, it became the first U.S. capital and a rising cultural and economic force.
