The Dutch connection with North America began in September 1609, when Henry Hudson, an English Captain, in service to the VOC (Vereenigde OostIndische Compagnie)discovered with his ship "De Halve Maene" (The Half Moon) the river which today bears his name. He was in search of a NW passage to Asia. Shortly after the return of the Hudson expedition, Dutch merchants sent out new expeditions, the aim of all these expeditions was fur trade with the Indians. In 1614, the States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands granted a charter for three years to the New Netherlands Company of Amsterdam. The first Dutch settlement in North America was built in late 1614 on Castle island (an island on the Hudson river little below the site of Albany,NY). This trading-post was called Fort Nassau, but this fort lay frequently under water and for that was abandoned in 1617. In 1621 the new born West Indische Compagnie (WIC) granted a charter that included the coast and countries of Africa from the tropic of Cancer to the Cape of Good Hope and also all the coast of America.
In 1624 the first WIC expedition started, a ship whit about thirty families of colonist (most of them were Walloons) reached the Hudson or Great River, they anchored near the abandoned Fort Nassau, here later in 1624 a new fort called Fort Oranije was built on the west side of the river where Albany now stands. In the same year the Dutch began to build two forts, one on the South River (Delaware) named Fort Nassau, and the other on the Fresh River (Connecticut) which was called Fort De Goede Hoop.
In 1626 a fort was built on Manhattan Island at the mouth of the Hudson River, this fort was called Fort Amsterdam and around it the town of Nieuw Amsterdam developed, it was destined to become the capital of the Dutch colony, in 1628 the population at Nieuw Amsterdam was of 270 souls. In 1630 three patroonships were founded: on the South River, Swanendael; on the North River at its mouth, Pavonia; and at Fort Oranije, Rensselaerswyck. The last, Rensselaerswyck, was the only successful patroonship in Nieuw Netherlands. In 1633 a wooden church was erected in Nieuw Amsterdam, and in 1642 it was replaced by a stone church inside the Fort.
In March 1638 a Swedish expedition arrived in the South River (Delaware) where they founded the colony of Nya Sverige. The Dutch that were at Fort Nassau strongly protested.
In 1647 the population of Nieuw Nederland was of 1.500-2.000 souls. In 1652 the population of the city of Nieuw Amsterdam was of 800 souls, a Municipal Government was given to it in 1652-53, a Burgomaster was appointed. In 1664 the population of Nieuw Amsterdam was of 1.600 souls, that of the whole Nieuw Nederland
Suriname, (formally known as Dutch Guiana), is located in the northeastern region of South America. Suriname is the "middle Guiana" with Guyana to the west and French Guiana to the east.
To the immediate north is the Caribbean Ocean, however there are no beautiful sandy beaches with deep indigo waters--there are muddy mangrove banks and muddy ocean waters. This is due to the Amazon River dumping its sediment into the ocean just downstream from us.
Suriname has a humid tropical climate, lush vegetation, exotic animals, and 2 seasons--Rainy season and Dry season. Suriname's average annual rainfall is 100 inches/year. Average temps are in the mid-to-upper 80's with high humidity.
The Dutch settlements in South Africa 1652-1795 and 1802-1806. In March 1647, with the shipwreck of the Dutch ship Nieuwe Haarlem, began the Dutch settlement in the zone, the shipwreck victims, built a small fort named "Sand Fort of the Cape of Good Hope". They stayed for nearly one year at the Cape, finally they were rescued by a fleet of 12 ships under the command of W.G. de Jong, on one of these ships was also Jan van Riebeeck. After their return in Holland a part of the shipwrecked tryed to persuade the Dutch East India Company to open a trading center at the Cape. In 1652, a Dutch expedition of 90 Calvinist settlers, under the command of Jan Van Riebeeck, founded the first permanent settlement near the Cape of Good Hope. They arrived, on 6 April 1652, on board of five ships, the Reijer, the Oliphant, the Goede Hoop, the Walvisch end the Dromedaris in the bay of today's Cape Town.
A square wooden fort with four bastions was quickly built, on the left bank of the Salt River where is now the Central Post Office, and later were built also two redoubts near the shore, they were named Kyckuit and Duinhoop. In 1666 (the first stone was laid on 2 Janaury 1666), the fort was replaced by a new stone fort named castle of "Goede Hoop" a massive pentagonal fortress with a moat and bastions at each corner, the bastions were named: Nassau, Leerdam, Oranje, Katzenellenbogen and Buren.
Map of the castle of "Goede Hoop", Kaapstad-Cape Town. Like Prof. Ch. R. Boxer wrote in his book "The Dutch seaborne Empire": "the Cape developed into a colony which was something unique, save for the short-lived New Netherland, in the possesion of the Dutch East and West India Companies. It had a healthy, subtropical and partly fertile interland, which was virtually unoccupied.....White colonisation was as feasible here as it had been in New Netherland, with the additional advantage that there was no rival European nation close at hand." On 3 June 1652, the first child was born. The developement of a community of free burghers was the main secret of the success of the settlement. From the beginning were also started the first trades with the Hottentots that resided in the zone, but the relationships with these tribes were often problematic. In 1655, was launched the first coast vessel made of Cape timber. In 1657, two groups of farmers settled about three miles from the castle, at Groenevelt (or Dutch Garden) and Rodenbosch. In 1658, the population of the whole Cape Colony consisted of 162 persons slaves included. In 1659, wine was pressed for the first time from Cape grapes. During the first years the natives were the most persistent problem of the colony, they frequently stole the cattle, and to solve the problem was decided to built a strong fence around the farms to protect the cattle, these defences were extended from Blauwberg across the bay to Salt River, and then through Groote Schuur to the hill of Wynberg, three watch-houses were also built; the whole settlement, in this way, was protected from Hottentot incursion. Saldanha Bay, Dassen Island and Robben Island were developed as outpost of trade and stock raising. In 1660, a Dutch ship with 150 Slaves from Angola arrived at the Cape, later in the same year another ship arrived with more slaves, the number of slaves in the settlement rose to 187. A school was opened to teach Dutch and religion to the children of the White settlers, Mulattos and Hottentots also.
