New York

A.D.
Before
The Big Apple was all hustle and bustle, it was known as New Amsterdam. The
city dates back to 1624 A.D., making it one of the oldest continuously occupied
European-established settlements in the continental United States. Before New
York became a colony, the city spent periods of time under both Dutch and
English rule. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the region had been inhabited
by Indigenous groups, most recently the Lenape.
