The Duke of York gained control of New Netherland in 1664 when an English fleet captured the territory from the Dutch. This event led to the renaming of New Amsterdam to New York, in honor of the Duke. The English formally annexed the region with the Treaty of Breda in 1667, which recognized English control over the area.
