Question: What year did New Netherland become New York? Passage:In the early seventeenth century, individual Danish immigrants became established in North America. ScandinaviansDanes and Norwegians in particularmade up a large portion of the settlers in the Dutch colony of New Netherland, now New York. After 1750, Danish families in the Protestant Moravian Brethren denomination immigrated to Pennsylvania, where they settled in the Bethlehem area alongside German Moravians. Until 1850, most Danes who emigrated to North America were unmarried men. During this period, some Danes achieved notability and recognition. Among them were Hans Christian Febiger (17491796), one of George Washington's most trusted officers during the American Revolution, Charles Zanco (18081836) who died at the Alamo in March 1836 in the struggle for Texan independence, and Peter Lassen (18001859), a blacksmith from Copenhagen who led a group of adventurers from Missouri to California in 1839. The trail established by Lassen was followed by the "forty-niners" during the California Gold Rush. Lassen is considered one of the most important early settlers of California.
