During the 1640s the name Beverwijk began to be used informally for the settlement of fur traders north of the fort. In 1652 the Dutch West India Company took control of that area and made the name official. By 1660 a palisade was built around Beverwijk and it had become economically and politically successful with large families residing in the community.
