ChaPt. HI.

In the year 1923, the Privileged West-Indis
Company, began its operations along the Hudson,
for the irstAime with direct view of COLOMBIA
ton. Colonists and supplies were sent out with
Captain Kornelius Jacobse Mey, and were hearth
ly welcomed by the few previous inhabitants
Before these arrived, they had been two years
without supplies so that some had cut up the sails
Of their boats for necessary clothing. In compli-
ment of Captain Mey, and in memory of his well
come arrival in the bay of Manhattan, they nam
ed the bay Port Mey.
In the year 1928, the Dutch obtained leave of
the natives to build better fort, and they there
fore commenced building Fort Amsterdam on the
ground now occupied by the Bowling green, then
mound of earth, overlooking an extensive ledge
or rocks, the site of the present Battery. The
Fort was finished under Governor Wouter Van
Twiller in 1886. In 1888 this Fort was taken
down, and the ground levelled to the extent of the
present Battery. After the Fort was built, per-
sons who came over from Holland to settle in
America, or to spend some time in the fur trade,
and who could not reside in the FORT built houses
near the walls of the same, and formed the first
street ever made in the city, now called Pearl
street. In 1926, the authorities of New Amster-
dam bought the locality of the present New York
from the Indian owners, for the sum of 60 Gull
ders.
The settlement and fort continued to bear the
name of Neuw Amsterdam down to the time of
the surrender by Governor Stuyvesant to the
English in 1864. Then for ten years under the
1 r,lo &c lie for
the Duke of York, it was called New York; but
in August 1878, Dutch feet, in time of War
recaptured it from the British, and from that time
to the time of peace in 1874 they called the place
New Orange, in compliment to the Prince Of
Orange.
In October 1914, the city was by treaty restor-
ed to the British, and the city again took the name
of New York, once and forever. The fort then
took the name of Fort James. This fort was built
of quadriangular form, having four bastions, two
gates, and forty two cannons.
During the military rule of Governor Colve
who held the city for one year after its capture
Tin 1879 for the states of Holland, everything
partook of military character. Then the Dutch
Mayor, at the head of the city militia held his
daily parades before the stadt Hugs (City Hall. J
and every evening at sunset, he received from the
principal guard of the fort, called hOcfd sOcgt, the
4 keys Of the city, and proceeded with guard Of
six, to lock up the city gates, and place the citi-
zens guard, as night-watches at assigned places
: At sunrise the gates were opened, and the keys
restored to the officer of the fort. Every citizen
for the purpose of guard was required to keep ii
his house good fre-lock, and at least six round,
of ball.
