Huguenot Street Historic District Historic Huguenot Street is located in New Paltz, New York, approximately 90 mi north of New York City. The seven stone houses and several accompanying structures in the 10-acre National Landmark Historic District were likely built in the early 18th century by Huguenot settlers fleeing discrimination and religious persecution in France and what's now southern Belgium. After negotiating with the Esopus Indians, this small group of Huguenots settled on a flat rise on the banks of the Wallkill River in 1678. The settlers named the site in honor of "Die Pfalz", the region of present-day Germany that had provided them temporary refuge before they came to America. Recent archaeological finds indicate that the immediate area settled by the Huguenots was occupied by Native Americans prior to European contact. The site is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the United States.

New Angoulême New Angoulême (French: "Nouvelle-Angoulême" ) was the name given in April 1524 by the Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano (or Jean de Varrazane; 1481-1528) to the site that later became New York City. The name refers to the town of Angoulême, in the Charente département of France. Verrazzano chose the name to honor his patron King Francis I of France, who had been Count of Angoulême from 1496 until his coronation in 1515. For the next century, the area was occasionally visited by fur traders or explorers, such as by Esteban Gomez in 1525. The place became a Dutch colonial settlement named New Amsterdam in 1624 and when traded to the English in 1664 was renamed New York.
