The History of New York in 12 Minutes
There were two explorers who first stumbled across the New York lands but can’t be credited with doing much upon their arrival. In 1524, a French-employed Italian explorer by the name of Giovanni da Verrazzano was sailing along the Atlantic when he found himself in what we know today as the New York Harbor and eventually modern-day Manhattan. He wrote of his exploration but did little more in the way of colonizing New York than that, and the same could be said for Jacques Cartier, a French explorer who made similar explorations in 1535. It wasn’t until another man, Henry Hudson under the employment of the Dutch East India Company, made his way to New York in 1609, that colonization became an intention.
