When Peter Minuit, the first Director-Gen- eral of New Netherlands arrived in 1626 and planted the first permanent colony on Manhattan Island, the first concern of the Dutch pioneers was to stake out a fort, under the direction of Kryn Frederick, an engineer sent along for this purpose. This fort — probably the first permanent structure raised on the island — was originally a blockhouse surrounded by palisades. It was located within the area bounded by Bowling Green, State, Bridge and Whitehall... Streets, and was named Fort Amsterdam. At that time it stood on the water front, the original water line coming down the west side of the Island approximately along the line of Greenwich Street, then bending southeastward across the corner of Bridge and State Streets, and thence fol- lowing the southern and eastern sides of the Island along the line of Pearl Street. Battery Park, therefore, is all made land, or "gedempte, " as the Dutch would say. In 1633 Director-General Wouter Van Twiller began a new fort on a larger scale.
