The territory which would later become the state of New York was settled by European colonists as part of the New Netherland colony (parts of present day New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware) under the command of the Dutch West India Company in the Seventeenth Century. These colonists were largely of Dutch, Flemish, Walloon, and German stock, but the colony soon became a "melting pot." In 1664, at the onset of the Second Anglo Dutch War, English forces under Richard Nicolls ousted the Dutch from control of New Netherland, and the territory became part of several different English colonies. Despite one brief year when the Dutch retook the colony (1673–1674), New York would remain an English and later British possession until the American colonies declared independence in 1776. With the unification of the two proprietary colonies of East Jersey and West Jersey in 1702, the provinces of New York and the neighboring colony New Jersey shared a royal governor. This arrangement began with the appointment of Queen Anne's cousin, Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury as Royal Governor of New York and New Jersey in 1702, and ended when New Jersey was granted its own royal governor in 1738.

In 1673, during the Third Anglo Dutch War, the Dutch were able to recapture New Amsterdam (renamed "New York" by the British) under Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest and Captain Anthony Colve. Evertsen renamed the city "New Orange." Evertsen returned to the Netherlands in July 1674, and was accused of disobeying his orders. Evertsen had been instructed not to retake New Amsterdam but instead to conquer the British colonies of Saint Helena and Cayenne (now French Guiana). In 1674, the Dutch were compelled to relinquish New Amsterdam to the British under the terms of the Second Treaty of Westminster.

News did not reach the New World of the treaty's terms until late in the year.

Apart from a short period between May 1688 and April 1689, during which New York was part of the Dominion of New England, the territory was known in this period as the Province of New York. #PortraitGovernorTook officeLeft officeNotes1 Richard Nicolls (1624–1672) 1664 1668 as military governor2 Francis Lovelace(1621–1675) 1668 1673 3 Anthony Colve (Dutch Governor) 1673 1674 Dutch former naval captain who became Governor under a restored Dutch rule4 Edmund Andros(1637–1714) 1674 16835 Anthony Brockholls(c. 1656) 1681 1683 Commander in Chief of British Forces and acting governor6 Thomas Dongan, 2nd Earl of Limerick(1634–1715) 1683 16887 Francis Nicholson(1655–1728) 1688 1691 as lieutenant governor of the Dominion of New England serving under Edmund Andros; de facto rule only until June 16898 Jacob Leisler(c. 1640–1691) 1688 1691 Militia officer in rebellion9 Henry Sloughter(d. 1691) 1691 169110 Richard Ingoldesby(d. 1719) 1691 1692 Military officer as acting governor11 Benjamin Fletcher(1640–1703) 1692 169712 Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont(c. 1636–1700/1) 1698 1700/113 John Nanfan(1634–1716) 1701 1702as acting governor14 Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon(1661–1723) 1702 170815 John Lovelace, 4th Baron Lovelace(1672–1709) 1708 170916 Pieter Schuyler(1657–1724) 1709 1709as acting governor17 Richard Ingoldesby(d. 1719) 1709 1710as acting governor18 Gerardus Beekman(1653–1723) 1710 1710as acting governor19 Robert Hunter(1664–1734) 1710 171920 Pieter Schuyler(1657–1724) 1719 1720as acting governor21 William Burnet(1687/8–1729) 1720 172822 John Montgomerie(d. 1731) 1728 173123 Rip Van Dam(c. 1660–1749) 1731 1732as acting governor24 William Cosby(1690–1736) 1732 173625 George Clarke(1676–1760) 1736 1743as acting governor26 George Clinton(c. 1686–1761) 1743 175327 Sir Danvers Osborn, 3rd Baronet(1715–1753) 1753 175328 James De Lancey(1703–1760) 1753 1755as acting governor29 Charles Hardy(c. 1714–1780) 1755 175830 James De Lancey(1703–1760) 1758 1760as acting governor31 Cadwallader Colden(1688–1776) 1760 1762as acting governor32 Robert Monckton(1726–1782) 1762 176333 Cadwallader Colden(1688–1776) 1763 1765as acting governor34 Sir Henry Moore, 1st Baronet(1713–1769) 1765 176935 Cadwallader Colden(1688–1776) 1769 1770as acting governor36 John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore(1730–1809) 1770 177137 William Tryon(1729–1788) 1771 177438 Cadwallader Colden(1688–1776) 1774 1775 as acting governor39 William Tryon(1729–1788) 1775 178040 James Robertson(1717–1788) 1780 1783as military governor41 Andrew Elliot(1728–1797) 1783 1783as military governor
