Question: Johannes Megapolensis served for several years at the first permanent Dutch settlement in what town?
Context: The first permanent settlement on the site developed between 10,000 and 9000 BCE.  During the Younger Dryas period of cold and drought, permanent habitation of any one location was impossible.  However, Tell es-Sultan was a popular camping ground for Natufian hunter-gatherer groups due to the nearby Ein as-Sultan spring; these hunter-gatherers left a scattering of crescent-shaped microlith tools behind them.  Around 9600 BCE the droughts and cold of the Younger Dryas stadial came to an end, making it possible for Natufian groups to extend the duration of their stay, eventually leading to year-round habitation and permanent settlement.  Epipaleolithic construction at the site appears to predate the invention of agriculture, with the construction of Natufian structures beginning earlier than 9000 BC, the very beginning of the Holocene epoch in geologic history. Île Amsterdam (] , also known as Amsterdam Island, New Amsterdam, or Nouvelle Amsterdam, is an island named after the ship "Nieuw Amsterdam", in turn named after the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam that later became New York City in the United States.  It lies in the southern Indian Ocean.  It is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and, together with neighbouring Île Saint-Paul 85 km to the south, forms one of the five districts of the territory.  The Martin-de-Viviès research station, first called "Camp Heurtin" and then "La Roche Godon", is the only settlement on the island and is home to about thirty non-permanent inhabitants involved in biological, meteorological and geomagnetic studies. St. George's (formally, the Town of St. George, or St. George's Town), located on the island and within the parish of the same names, settled in 1612, was the first permanent English settlement on the islands of Bermuda.  It is often described as the third successful English settlement in the Americas, after St. John's, Newfoundland, and Jamestown, Virginia and the oldest continuously-inhabited English town in the New World, since the other two settlements were seasonal for a number of years. Devils Island, Nova Scotia is located on the northeast entrance of Halifax Harbour part of the Halifax Regional Municipality off the coast of the community of Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia.  The name originated from an early French merchant and was first spelled Deville's Island.  The first permanent settlement on this 12 hectare island was established in 1830, and by 1850 there were three houses and a school.  By 1901 the settlement had grown to 18 houses.  A number of Devil's Island residents, notably Ben Henneberry, provided valuable folklore to pioneering Canadian folklorist Helen Creighton.  Most of the residents were moved to the mainland during World War II.  The last permanent resident, a Norwegian artist, moved off in 2000.  The island is currently owned by Halifax entrepreneur Bill Mont.  The Devil's Island Lighthouse built in 1877, replacing an earlier tower built in 1852, is still standing but is not functional and is threatened.  The island was also the base for a rescue lifeboat until the 1950s which saved the crews of many vessels stranded on the shoals approaching Halifax Harbour. Several of the islands strung across the South entrance of Castle Harbour, Bermuda were fortified in the early days of the territory, hence the harbour's name.  When official settlement of the archipelago by England began in 1612 (unofficial settlement having begun with the 1609 wrecking of the Sea Venture) the first permanent town, St. George's (then called "New London") was placed on the North side of St. George's Harbour.  St. George's Harbour could be accessed directly by channels from the East.  Those channels, however, were shallow, suitable, originally, only for small ships.  As a consequence, and despite any major settlement on its shores, Castle Harbour was an important anchorage in the early years of the colony, with its main entrance, Castle Roads being an important route in from the open Atlantic for shipping.  It was also a weakpoint, as it was remote from the defences of St. George's Harbour, and difficult to reach.  It was quickly fortified and garrisoned by a standing militia. Fort Orange (Dutch: "Fort Oranje" ) was the first permanent Dutch settlement in New Netherland; the present-day city of Albany, New York developed at this site.  It was built in 1624 as a replacement for Fort Nassau, which had been built on nearby Castle Island and served as a trading post until 1617 or 1618, when it was abandoned due to frequent flooding.  Both forts were named in honor of the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau.  Due to a dispute between the Director-General of New Netherland and the patroonship of Rensselaerswyck regarding jurisdiction over the fort and the surrounding community, the fort and community became an independent municipality, paving the way for the future city of Albany.  After conquest of the region by the English, they soon abandoned Fort Orange (renamed Fort Albany) in favor of a new fort: Fort Frederick, constructed in 1676. New Amsterdam (Dutch: "Nieuw Amsterdam" ) was a 17th-century Dutch settlement established at the southern tip of Manhattan Island that served as the seat of the colonial government in New Netherland.  The "factorij" became a settlement outside of Fort Amsterdam.  The fort was situated on the strategic southern tip of the island of Manhattan and was meant to defend the fur trade operations of the Dutch West India Company in the North River (Hudson River).  In 1624, it became a provincial extension of the Dutch Republic and was designated as the capital of the province in 1625. Johannes Megapolensis (1603–1670) was a "dominie" (pastor) of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Dutch colony of New Netherland (present-day New York state in the United States), beginning in 1642.  Serving for several years at Fort Orange (present-day Albany, New York) on the upper Hudson River, he is credited with being the first Protestant missionary to the Indians in North America.  He later served as a minister in Manhattan, staying through the takeover by the English in 1664. Old Town is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Staten Island, located on its East Shore.  Old Town was established in August 1661 as part of New Netherland, and was the first permanent European settlement on Staten Island.  Originally described as "Oude Dorpe" (old village in Dutch), much of its original territory makes up what is present-day South Beach, with parts of Midland Beach and Dongan Hills.  The area was settled by a group of Dutch, Walloon (from what is now southern Belgium and its borders with France) and French Protestants (Huguenots) led by Walloon Pierre Billiou. The Jamestown settlement in the Colony of Virginia was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.  William Kelso writes that Jamestown "is where the British Empire began".  It was established by the Virginia Company of London as "James Fort" on May 4, 1607 (O.S.; May 14, 1607 N.S.), and was considered permanent after brief abandonment in 1610.  It followed several failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke.  Jamestown served as the capital of the colony of Virginia for 83 years, from 1616 until 1699.
