Dutch settlers
New Amsterdam founders
Dutch settlers are people from the Netherlands who established residence in foreign territories, particularly during the 17th-century colonial period.
The term appears most often in American history, referring to those who colonized New Amsterdam (later New York) and the Hudson River Valley: Dutch settlers introduced many customs that persist in American culture.
In South African history, Dutch settlers were ancestors of the Afrikaners.
