History of New York City

In 1524, when the European explorers first discovered this area by the hand of the Italian explorer Giovanni da Bharjajano, this urban area was inhabited by 5000 local American lanapas who are called Red Indians. This discovery was made in the loyalty and patronage of this French explorer of the French King. After the discovery he named the region "Angola in the Navy" and in the new Angolim. Here the first European settlement began when the Dutch established a fur trade center in the southern part of Manhattan in 1614. They later called the place "New Amsterdam". Peter Mennitt, the Dutch colony director, purchased Manhattan Island in 1626 from the local Lanapadas. There are legends, Manhattan was sold for only US $ 24, although there was no evidence available. In 1664 the British occupied the city and renamed it New York. They named the city after the York of York and the Duke of Albany. At the end of the Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch gave up the authority of New Amsterdam to the British in terms of getting the authority to run the run island. Then the run island seemed more important. By 1700, the population of the Lenap tribe decreased to 200 in the urban areas.

Under the British rule, New York City became the city's port city. In 1754, King's College, a low school in Lower Manhattan, was established with the special approval of King George II of Britain. This college was the first form of Columbia University. During the US Revolutionary War, some small battles took place in the city, which are called together in the New York Campaign. The Continental Congress met together in New York City and in 1789 the United States first president was nominated. The first President George Washington's debut was established in the city of Wall Street. New York City was the capital of the United States until 1790.
