The city of New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area (possibly the most populous metropolitan area in the world.) New York shows a significant impact in global commerce, money, mass media, fine art, fashion shows, scientific research, brass technology, new education, and worldwide entertainment. New York is the home of the United Nations Headquarters. New York is an important center for many international affairs and is deemed "the cultural capital of the world."
The area had been inhabited by Native Americans at the time of its European discovery in 1524 by Giovanni da Verrazzano, an explorer in the service of the French crown, who named it "Nouvelle Angoulême" (New Angoulême). European settlement started with the founding of a Dutch fur trade settlement, later called "Nieuw Amsterdam" (New Amsterdam), on the southern tip of Manhattan. Dutch colonial Director-General Peter Minuit purchased the island of Manhattan from the Lenape in 1626 for a value of 60 guilders.
