New Netherland was the former Dutch territory surrounding the small town of New Amsterdam (later renamed New York by the all-conquering British). New Netherland covered what is now lower New York state, New Jersey and parts of Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island. It lasted under Dutch control from 1614 - 1664 and again briefly from 1673-1674. It was originally founded by the Dutch West India Company and protected from Indians by forts at Manhattan (Fort Amsterdam) and Albany (Fort Orange). The area, then under the Governorship of Peter Stuyvesant, was annexed by the Charles II of England in 1664 but recaptured by the Dutch in 1673. But in 1664 at the end of the Third Dutch War between England and the Dutch republic it was permanently ceded to England by the Dutch. England gave the Dutch the small island of Run in the East Indies as compensation. Since then the Dutch settlers have lived in peace and prosperity under the English and then the US flag in the colony, renamed New York , New Jersey, Albany, etc. Three US presidents, including the best president of all, have descended from the Dutch families of New Netherland.
