The dominent indiginous people of the Hudson Valley were the Iroquios. Their rivals, the Algongin, were to the North.
In 1524 Giovanni da Verrazono sailed into New York Harbour. He sent a scouting group up the Hudson. (They made it as far as present day Alpine but panicked when they sighted a party of Iroquoi.) It was Henry Hudson, who in 1609 first sailed up the River opening the Valley for European settlement.
