New Netherland was a Dutch colony conquered by the Dutch Company of the West Indies (WIC) in 1621. This colony was a great commercial success, capable of capitalizing efficiently and competitively on the purchase and sale of fur, a major center of this product. This success took time to occur, due to several factors, but it became a strong trigger for the economic prospects that the Netherlands sought to exploit in the territory. The outlook was so high that fur exploration can be seen even on the New Netherland label.
