The vessel carried the surviving Throckmorton colonists to the safety of the fort at New Amsterdam. which was located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island. After reclaiming their ancestral lands. the Siwanoy Indians signed a peace treaty with the Dutch. who controlled New Amsterdam. in 1645. In 1664. not quite 20 years later. the Dutch ceded New Amsterdam to the English and Throggs Neck. formerly. Throckmortons Neck. became an official part of New York. Since its beginnings. Throggs Neck has been the home to many immigrants to our great land. representing a multitude of different nationalities. including individuals of Irish. Italian. and German descent. among others. This diversity of national origin has assured a thriving community over the past 350 years.
