United East India Company
The orange, white and blue colors were from the Dutch National
flag. The "VOC" meant Vereenigte Oost Indise Compagnie (United East
India Company). Henry Hudson first brought this flag to America in
1609 while exploring Delaware Bay and the Hudson River. Above the
letters, was the letter "A" which stood for the home port of Amsterdam.
Sometimes the "A" was inverted. Similar flags flew above other Dutch
settlements including New Amsterdam.
