8 set 1664 ano - New Amsterdam becomes New York

Descrição:

New York, originally settled by the Dutch as New Netherland, became an English colony in 1664 when England's King Charles II granted the territory to his brother, the Duke of York, after English forces seized control. Known for its diverse population and robust trade, New York City emerged as a significant urban center, and the colony played a crucial role in the economic, social, and political development of the American colonies, and later, the United States.
