	Peter Stuyvesant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petrus Stuyvesant (born 1612, in Peperga (Friesland), died 1672) served as the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherland from 1647 until it was turned over to the English in 1664.
		Stuyvesant and his family were large land owners in the northeastern portion of New Amsterdam, and the Stuyvesant name is currently associated with the Stuyvesant Town housing complex and Stuyvesant High School (where he is fondly known as "Pegleg Pete" and the football team is called the Peglegs in his honor), among other locations.
		Stuyvesant's grand official residence at the very tip of Manhattan was renamed "Whitehall" by the English and survives in another New York street name.

		As Director General of the New Netherlands, Peter Stuyvesant was entitled to occupy Bowery No. 1, the largest and best of the farms that the Dutch West India Company had set aside for the its officers.
