when did the dutch settlers arrived in the western cape?
1652
in 1624, the dutch republic incorporated much of the current new york city area into the colony of new netherland. in 1636, as the dutch was expanding outward from present-day manhattan, dutch settlers founded the town of achtervelt (later amersfoort, then flatlands) and purchased around jamaica bay. amersfoort was centered around the present-day intersection of flatbush avenue and flatlands avenue. canarsie indian leaders had signed three land agreements with dutch settlers between 1636 and 1667, handing ownership of much of their historic land to the dutch. many of the tribe's members started moving away, and dutch settlers rented the cornfields that had formerly belonged to the indians. much of the remaining land was located in the present-day neighborhood of canarsie. the first european settler in the area was pieter claesen wyckoff, a former indentured servant who built a house in flatlands circa 1652. wyckoff's house still stands along clarendon road, and it is believed to be the oldest structure in new york state.
