The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was taken over by the English without a shot being fired. The English forces arrived in 1664 in four warships sent by the Duke of York to take possession of land his brother the king of England had granted him. Before commencing an attack, the English offered generous terms of surrender to the Dutch colonists. The Dutch citizens persuaded their Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, to accept the terms of surrender rather than have the colony suffer the death and destruction under battlefire from the well-armed warships. After the surrender, the colony was then renamed New York for its new ruler.
Peter Minuit founded New York in1626. At this time the colony was called New Netherland. In 1674, King Charles II took over and named it New York, after his brother, the Duke of York.
