Thirty-eight years after Henry Hudson, in 1609, first sailed the "Half Moon" up the majestic river named for him, Governor Peter Stuyvesant arrived in New Amsterdam harbor. For the next eighteen years he helped the Dutch colony grow. Then in 1664 the English came with a fleet and Peter Stuyvesant had to surrender. New Amsterdam was renamed New York.
