The city of York used to be called Amsterdam before, right?
I think so. Why they changed it? I can't say, seems they just liked it better that way.
~better~ ~that~ ~way~
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So, take me back to Constantinople.
The Dutch "lost" New York to the English. They surrendered when a large force of Englishmen demanded the surrender of the city. It had been awarded to the Duke of York. Hence the name.
