Through a military conquest.
In 1664 an English fleet seized the Dutch colony of New Netherland; Peter Stuyvesant surrendered rather than fight. The English renamed it New York (for the Duke of York). The Dutch briefly retook it in 1673, but the 1674 Treaty of Westminster returned it to English control.
