    New York was a Dutch colony by the name of New Amsterdam however following hostile relations and wars the English wanted to take it. Charles the second awarded it to the Duke of York despite the Dutch owning it, hence the name New York, and when he went to take it the Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered it without a fight
