The Dutch located trading posts near the Hudson River in the early 1600s because they wanted to claim land not already claimed by France, England, or Spain. The Dutch West India Company sought to establish a profitable trade network and expand Dutch influence in the New World by establishing trading posts and colonies, including those along the Hudson River. This venture was motivated by economic interests and the desire to secure territories for trade and resource extraction.
