The Founding of New York
Previously known as New Amsterdam, the settlement came under British rule in 1664.
The city was formally renamed New York in June 1665, in honour of the Duke of York, brother of King Charles II.
The city found itself acquiring a new name and with new rulers, the British.
The reason for this change can be traced back to a tiny island called Run, in modern-day Malaysia.
Author's summary: New York was renamed in 1665 after the Duke of York.
