Answer 2

Answer:

Albany was founded by the Netherlands in 1624 as Fort Orange, replacing Fort Nassau that was founded in 1615. It was a trading post where mainly beaver pelts were purchased from the indigenous population. In fact, the city originated in 1647 near the fort; the city was then christened Beverwijck and was the second city of New Netherland after New Amsterdam.

In 1664 the English conquered the area. They renamed the fort as Albany, in honor of the Duke of Albany, later King James II of England. In 1797 Albany became the capital of the state of New York.
