Director-General of New Amsterdam

This is a list of Directors, appointed by the Dutch West India Company, of the 17th century Dutch province of New Netherland (Nieuw-Nederland in Dutch) in North America. Only the last, Peter Stuyvesant, held the title of Director General. As the colony grew citizens advisory boards, known as the Twelve Men, Eight Men, and Nine Men exerted more influence on the director and thus affairs of province.
