Introduction. The Dutch first settled along the Hudson River in 1624; two years later they established the colony of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. In 1664, the English took control of the area and renamed it New York.
Manhattan (/mÃ¦nËhÃ¦tÉn/, /mÉn-/) is the most densely populated borough of New York City, its economic and administrative center, and its historical birthplace.[4] It may be known locally as simply The City.[1] The borough is coextensive with New York County, founded on November 1, 1683, as one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York.
