Fort Orange (Dutch: Fort Oranje or Fort Oranije) was the first permanent Dutch settlement in New Netherland. It was a replacement for Fort Nassau, which had been built in 1614 on a nearby Castle Island in the Hudson River and which served as a trading post until 1617, when it was abandoned due to frequent flooding.
