The direct intervention of the State in the colonial company came later. Dutch merchants and sailors also participated in the wave of exploration that continued during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
New Netherlands encompassed the northern area of the Atlantic coast of the United States, which was first visited by Dutch explorers and later controlled and colonized by the Dutch West Indies Company. The settlements were initially established around the Hudson River: Fort Nassau created in 1614, abandoned in 1617 by continuous flooding and restored in 1624 under the name of Fort Orange, nowadays Albany and New Amsterdam, founded in 1625 on the island of Manhattan. The colony reached its maximum size with the absorption of the Swedish settlement of Fort Christina in 1655, ending in this way with the colony of New Sweden.
The end of the New Netherlands colony came in 1674, after the end of the Anglo-Dutch Third War the Dutch settlements became part of the British Crown and New Amsterdam was renamed New York.
