What colony did three different countries claim?

The colony of New Amsterdam, located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, was claimed by three different countries: the Dutch, the English, and the Swedes. Initially established by the Dutch in 1624 as a trading post, it was later seized by the English in 1664. The Swedes had briefly settled in the region earlier, establishing New Sweden in 1638, but their claim was ultimately absorbed by the Dutch.
