I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the name of the explorer who visited the area in 1609?
All the background I'm provided with is that "He proceeded to sail up what he named the North River, also called the Mauritis River, and now known as the Hudson River, to the site of the present-day New York State capital of Albany in the belief that it might represent an oceanic tributary.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
