New York Was Briefly Naned “New Orange”
New Amsterdam was founded by the Dutch in 1653 and taken renamed New York by the English in 1664. However, the Dutch briefly reclaimed it in 1673 and dubbed it New Orange, which was its name for about a year until it was returned to the British under the Treaty of Westminster.
