How New York Received its Name in 1664
In August 1664 the English fleet anchored at New Amsterdam after passing the Narrows and demanded Dutch surrender. Governor Stuyvesant resisted, but mutiny grew and capitulation followed on August 29. New Amsterdam became New York as the English flag rose. Fort Orange became Fort Albany named for the Duke of York. Population was about 1,500.
