New york was founded for religious freedom from England. It was controlled by the Dutch and was known as New Netherlands. Then the governer was very disliked and had to way to protect himself or the colony from England. The settlers wouldn't help him because they disliked him. Then England got control of New Netherlands without a shot being fired. King Charles then gave the land ot his brother, the Duke Of York. and it was then renamed New York.
One major town was New Amsterdam
One important fact was the colony was a royal colony. This means the King chose the governer and the upper house voted the lower house.
