Jan 6, 2008, 12.00 AM IST. Why was the New Amsterdam Colony established? New Amsterdam was established by Dutch colonisers in 1624 in what is known today as New York city. The town of New Amsterdam became a city in 1653 when it received municipal rights and was reincorporated as New York city in June 1665.
The New York Colony was one of the four Middle Colonies which also included the Pennsylvania Colony, the New Jersey Colony, and the Delaware Colony. The New York Colony was originally a Dutch colony called New Amsterdam, founded by Peter Minuit in 1626 on Manhattan Island. In 1664 the Dutch surrendered the colony to the English and it was renamed New York, after the Duke of York. The New York Colony was originally called the Province of New York (from 1664), and later New York. The original boundaries of the New York Colony included present-day New York State, New Jersey, Delaware, and Vermont.
