Caribbean Connections to New Netherland

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM

Did you know the first non-Indigenous person to live in New York was from Santo Domingo? Or that the Dutch were trading with and colonizing the Caribbean and South America at the same time as New York? Join us for this special program tracing the connections between the Caribbean and the Dutch colony of New Netherland (today New York), including people like Juan Rodriguez and the Philipses, events like the war between Spain and the Netherlands, and the Dutch global trade for salt, sugar, and mahogany.
