In 1624 the first permanent Dutch settlement was established at Fort Orange (now
Albany). One year later Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from the Indians
for trinkets worth about 60 Dutch guilders and founded the Dutch colony of New
Amsterdam (now New York City), which was surrendered to the English in 1664.
