Fort Nassau
Many assume that the first Dutch settlement was New Amsterdam, on the island know known as Manhattan.
However, the Dutch established a trading post called Fort Nassau on the site of modern Albany in 1614. It did not last though. Their first permanent settlement was Fort Orange, which was also where Albany is today.
