New Angoulême () was the name given in 1524 by the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano to the site of what would become New York City. The name commemorated Francis I of France, King of France and Count of Angoulême in the Charente region in France. The place became a Dutch colonial settlement, named New Amsterdam after 1625, until it was conquered by the English in 1664 and renamed New York.
