The trading Hudson did with the Lenape people would be the start of the prosperous fur trade that existed well into the 1800s. In 1625, New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island became the capital of New Netherland. His voyage was used to establish Dutch claims to the region. In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson (1560s/70s), was sailing for the Dutch East India Company, looking for easterly passage to Asia and spent ten days ascending the River that now bears his name. While investigating the Bay, Verrazzano documented what he believed to be a lake, which was actually the entrance to the Hudson River. The canoeing Lenape encountered Verrazzano’s ship, La Dauphine, in Lower New York Bay. The first contact with Europeans was in 1524 when Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano (1485-1528), in the service of the King Francis I of France, explored North America. The Lenape were skilled hunters but maintained an agricultural society, planting mostly beans, squash, and corn. This matrilineal tribe-like society occupied the lower Hudson River Valley and the Delaware Valley. The island of Manhattan was originally inhabited by the Lenape people.
