Map of New York in 1695
Map of New York in 1695. Drawn about the 1860s after the plan attributed to John Miller (Cohen & Augustyn. Manhattan in maps, 52-53). Rev. John Miller (1666-1724) arrived in New York, in 1692, as a designated chaplain. He made his original map of New York from memory, after returning to England, in 1695. Source (edited): Norman B. Leventhal Map & Education Center / Boston Public Library.
The old New Amsterdam came under English control in 1664 and it was renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. The same name was given to the English Province of New York.
