Definitely New Amsterdam, before the English took the colony from the Dutch and renamed it after the Duke of York (the then-future James II). Some remnants of the Dutch presence remain, such as Harlem and the New York Knickerbockers.

It was New Amsterdam, as in the They Might Be Giants song, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)":
"Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way"

I am not sure but I think it might be New Amsterdam or something along those lines.
