1664-ben a város York herceg után kapta nevét. Károly király kinevezte az Új-Hollandia korábbi területén a herceg tulajdonosát, beleértve New Amszterdamot, amelyet az Angolok a hollandok nemrég vettek el.
In 1664, the city was named after the Duke of York, who would become King James II. James's older brother, King Charles II of England, had appointed the Duke proprietor of the former territory of New Netherlands, including the city of New Amsterdam, which England had recently seized from the Dutch.
