Answer:
Part of New York became a fur trading post after the Ducht West India Company colonized it.
Explanation:
In 1609, the Englishman Henry Hudson, who was exploring on behalf of the Netherlands, sailed up the Hudson River, and officially annexed the region to the Dutch. That region would become known as New Netherlands. The Dutch founded several trading posts in the region that focused mainly on fur trading, and established business relationships with the Iroquois Indians regarding those goods. In 1621, a group of Dutch merchants created a company, the Dutch West Indies Company. In 1624, the Dutch government gave the Dutch West Indies Company all the rights to market with the New Netherlands for 24 years. That same year, a first batch of settlers, about 30 families, was sent to the region, where they founded Fort Orange - which is the current capital of New York, Albany.
