I want to know the answer to the following question:
In what year did the first European arrive in the New York area?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first documented visit by a European was in 1524 by Giovanni da Verrazzano, a Florentine explorer in the service of the French crown, who sailed his ship La Dauphine into New York Harbor.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
