He sailed North and made contact with the Lenape people at what came to be Lower New York Bay, although he named it New Angoul?me in honor of the King of France who at that time was Francis I. He then sailed farther north, touching at Naragansett Bay before heading farther north past Maine and newfoundland and then back to France.
Although he made landfall several times during his first journey, Verazzano did not come across the Delaware or Hudson Rivers, and his exploration must have been mimimal. It was not until 1609 that Englishman Henry Hudson sailed up and explored the Hudson River for the Dutch East India Company that employed him. Hudson found Manhattan island and it was named Manna-Hata which means ‘island of many hills’ in the Lanape dialect.
Hudson’s exploration of the Hudson river, which he had named the Mauritius River, discovered the possibility of a trade in beaver pelts, that were highly prized in Europe because of their waterproof properties. This prompted the Dutch to extend their interest in the area to private commercial surveys which ultimately led to the charting and establishment of the whole Hudson River area.

Fort Amsterdam is said to have been founded in 1625 to protect the settlers against other Europeans, although there is no evidence that it was actually constructed. Whether this occurred or not, the island and the town became known in the same year as New Amsterdam after the capital city of Holland.
The Director-General of New Netherlands who was appointed in 1626 was, in fact, a Belgian, Peter Minuit, who claimed to have purchased the island of Manhattan from the Canarsee native Americans on 24th May, but in fact the island at that time was owned by the Weckquaesgeek people so ownership was open to question.
