Excerpt from My Friends at Brook Farm

The settlers built their houses on the Indian trail leading Westward to which they gave the name of Beaver street their grand boulevard which must have been two or three squares long. Beaver Street was the main highway of the Wal loon Nation and was the center of the Old Colonie as the Dutch neighborhood was subsequently called. Under English rule, the Old Colonie or Beaverwick was merged with Fort Orange and Rensselaer wick, these, collectively, being named Al bany in honor of the Duke of York, Al bany being one of his titles.

Excerpt from My Friends at Brook Farm

In May, 1624, the Dutch packet New Netherlands sailed up the Hudson River to the head of navigation, bringing a company of eighteen families under the leadership of Adrian Joris. The immigrants landed at a little trading post called Beaverwick kept by one Tice Oesterhout, a pioneer hunter, married to a Mohawk Squaw. In a few days a party of Indians, probably Mohawks, waited on the newcomers and politely made inquiry as to their object in entering upon Indian lands without notice or permission; Tice Oesterhout and his wife acting as interpreters. Joris replied that they came in peace and hoped to abide in peace on friendly terms with the Indians.
