New York City was founded in 1624, in Lower Manhattan, serving as a colonist trading post by the Dutch Republic, only to be named New Amsterdam in 1626. The English took control of the city and its vicinity in 1664, where it was renamed New York by James II of England after the land was given to him by his brother, King Charles II of England. The city would serve as the capital of the United States of America from 1785 to 1790, and by the latter year it was the largest city in the ground. By the 19th and 20th centuries, New York City became home for millions of immigrants, and by the 21st century, the city came to be a global image of social tolerance, sustainability, creativity and entrepreneurship. After the dissolution of the United States and the formation of the United Republic of North America, New York City became the most populated city in the country.
