Stuyvesant, Peter (1610–72) Dutch colonial administrator. Stuyvesant became governor of the Caribbean islands of Curaçao, Bonaire, and Aruba in 1643, and in 1647 he became director-general of all the Dutch territories, including New Amsterdam (later New York City). He ended Swedish influence in Delaware in 1655, and ruled until the colony was taken over by the English in 1664 and renamed New York.
