Excerpt from History of the United States, Vol. 2: From Aboriginal Times to Taft's Administration Richard nicolls, the first English governor of New York, began his duties by settling the boundaries of his province. It was a work full of trouble and vexation. As early as 1623 the whole of Long Island had been granted to the earl of Stirling.
