In the early 1600s, the #Dutch founded a colony called New Netherland, with its capital of #NewAmsterdam on Manhattan Island. It was the base from which they laid a claim to the New World. When the English took over in 1664, they rechristened New Amsterdam as New York City. While New Netherland may be history, its legacy is hiding in plain sight, in old houses, barns, street patterns and in New York place names, from #Harlem and #Rotterdam to “Breuckelen” (now #Brooklyn) and #Rensselaer. @huguenotstreet in New Paltz, above, includes houses built by the offspring of the #Huguenots who settled in the Dutch colony.
