History

In 1664, the British gained control of New Amsterdam, renaming it New York in honor of the Duke of York. This transition marked a turning point in the settlements history. During the 18th century, New York developed as a bustling port city and became a key location for revolutionary activities during the American War of Independence. By the late 1700s, New York City became the first capital of the United States and quickly established itself as a cultural and financial hub.
