New York
The Empire State
The fourth most populous state, New York has the preeminent deep water ports on the Eastern seaboard. Giovanni da Verrazzano was probably the first European to explore New York Bay in 1524 when he said it “swarmed with native boats”. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle along the Hudson River. They eventually lost to the British, who established New York as their colony in the 1670s.
