A short tour of Kingston, NY, one of the three main towns of the Dutch Colony of New Amsterdam, was first called Esopus after a local Esopus tribe, then Wiltwijck (sometimes anglicized to Wiltwyck). Settled in 1651. In 1777, Kingston became the first capital of New York and was burned by British troops moving up the Hudson River from New York City .
