The state of New York was named after the
English Duke of York and Albany (and the brother of England's King Charles II) in 1664.
According to the Navigation Act of 1660, only English-owned ships could enter colonial ports. That same year, King Charles II granted a charter to the Company of Royal Adventurers Trading to Africa.
Led by the king’s younger brother James, the Duke of York (later King James II),
this group had a monopoly on British trade with West Africa, including gold, silver and slaves.
