Learn about the last director-general of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant. He ruled with an 'iron fist' but he loved New Amsterdam and its people, staying on after the colony fell to the English. To this day, street, neighborhood, and borough names (Broadway, Harlem, the Bronx, and Brooklyn), and the popularity of some foods (pretzels), reflect the early Dutch influence in New York.
