On September 8, 1565, Pedro MenÃ©ndez de AvilÃ©s landed on the shore of what is now called Matanzas Bay and began the founding of the Presidio of San Agustin. Later the settlement would be called St. Augustine, Florida. In 1607, 104 English men and boys picked Jamestown, Virginia for their settlement, which was named after their King, James I. Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Frenchman Samuel de Champlain. The colony of New Netherland was established by the Dutch West India Company in 1624 and grew to encompass all of present-day New York City and parts of Long Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. A successful Dutch settlement in the colony grew up on the southern tip of Manhattan Island and was christened New Amsterdam.
