  1. It was a dutch colony originally known as new Amsterdam. I would go with prorietary.

    The town of New Amsterdam became a city when it received municipal rights in 1653 and was unilaterally reincorporated as New York City in June 1665, making it the oldest incorporated city in the United States. The town was founded in 1625 by New Netherland's second director, Willem Verhulst who, together with his council, selected Manhattan Island as the optimal place for permanent settlement by the Dutch West India Company.


  2. The thirteen colonies are usually grouped, according to the form of government, into three classes--the Charter, the Royal, and the Proprietary; but recent historical criticism has reduced these three forms to two, the Corporation and the Proviucial.

    The corporation was identical with the charter form, and at the opening of the Revolution there were but three, including Massachusetts the other two being Rhode Island and Connecticut.

    The provincial forms included the proprietary colonies, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

    The royal colonies are Virginia, the Carolinas, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, and Georgia.
