    New Netherlands was a colonial province of the Dutch Republic on the east coast of North America on the Hudson River and downstream the Delaware River.

    The main export goods of the colony were furs and tobacco grown on the fertile soil. In 1664, shortly before the start of the second Anglo-Dutch naval war, New Netherlands was conquered by the British. In the peace of Breda the Netherlands ceded the colony to England in 1667. After a brief recapture, the area finally fell to the British crown in the Peace of Westminster in 1674.
