"The principal towns within the Government are New York, Albany & Kingston at [the town of] Esopus. All the rest are country villages. The buildings in New-York & Albany are generally of stone & brick. In the country the houses are mostly new built, having two or three rooms on a floor. The Dutch are great improvers of land. New York and Albany live wholly upon trade with the Indians, England, and the West Indies. The returns for England are generally Beaver, Peltry, Oil & Tobacco when we can have it. To the West Indies we send Flour, Bread, Peas, Pork & sometimes horses; the return from thence for the most part is rum which pays the King a considerable excise & some molasses which serves the people to make drink & pays no custom."—Gov. Thomas Dongan, from the "Report to the Committee of Trade and Plantations (London) on the Province of New York," 1687
