At the beginning of the 17th century, Dutch explorers bought the island of Manhattan from the Indians and founded the settlement of New Amsterdam. A quarter of a century later, the English conquered the town and renamed it New York in honour of the brother of King Charles II, James Duke of York. Historian Heleen Westerhuijs shares the lost Dutch heritage of the Big Apple.
