the Atlantic coast in search of a route to Asiabut none settled there until 1624.
That year, the Dutch West India Company sent some 30 families to live and work in
a tiny settlement on Nutten Island (todays Governors Island) that they called New
Amsterdam. In 1626, the settlements governor general, Peter Minuit, purchased
the much larger Manhattan Island from the natives for 60 guilders in trade goods
such as tools, farming equipment, cloth and wampum (shell beads). Fewer than
300 people lived in New Amsterdam when the settlement moved to Manhattan. But
