Represent the dialog for retrieving similar scenarios Speaker2: Speaker1, why is New York named New York?
Speaker1: it was a British colony
Speaker2: but it used to be New Amsterdam, right?
Speaker1: indeed, from 1624 there was Dutch trading post on lower Manhattan 
Speaker2: so what happened?
Speaker1: In 1664 it was taken over by British and they changed the name
Speaker2: but why New York, not for example New London?
Speaker1: I think the British king gave the land to his brother, the Duke of York, hence the name!
Speaker2: I see, makes sense
Speaker1: good :)
Speaker2: You know everything about the history of the city, don't you?
Speaker1: the name is rather basic stuff, don't you think, especially for a city guide?
Speaker1: everybody asks about it
Speaker2: hahaha, I understand
Represent the dialog scenario for retrieval New York used to be called New Amsterdam but the British took over and renamed it in 1664. The name probably comes from the fact that the land belonged to the Duke of York. Speaker1 knows this because she is a tour guide.
Represent the dialog scenario for retrieval Speaker1 and Speaker2 want to go to an art exhibition tomorrow. Speaker1 wants Amelia to go with them but Speaker2 isn't sure about it. Speaker1 and Speaker2 will go to his place afterwards.
