It's more involved than this explanation, but a quick and dirty answer is. There were a series of wars between the British and the Dutch over this territory. After each one the Dutch came out on the short end. Finally, while the third was going on the Dutch were attacked by several European powers. They were unable to sustain and relinquished the remaining holdings of New Netherlands to the British.
The territory of the colony was ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty of Westminster (1674) at the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Dutch War.
They got pushed out by the English because they thought the dutch were a threat.
