New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by [[colonists]] from the [[Dutch Republic]] in 1624 on [[Lower Manhattan]]; the post was named [[New Amsterdam]] in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after [[King Charles II of England]] granted the lands to his brother, the [[Duke of York]]. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The [[Statue of Liberty]] greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace.
