The Dutch settled in the Hudson Valley in the early 17th century, specifically in 1624. They established trading posts and colonies in the area, including the settlement of New Amsterdam (later renamed New York City).
The creation of vast Hudson Valley estates by the Dutch and English resulted in the displacement of Native American populations from their lands, as well as the importation of enslaved Africans to work on the estates. These estates contributed to the establishment of powerful landed elite families who controlled the region's economy and politics.
The Dutch colonies were founded by the Dutch East India Company, a trading company established in the early 17th century. They established colonies in regions such as present-day Indonesia, Suriname, and the Caribbean.
The Dutch took control of the Hudson River, establishing the colony of New Netherland in the early 17th century. This colony later became part of what is now known as New York.
The Dutch word that means "valley of the swans" is "zwanendal."
