When was New York (I'm assuming you mean the city) ever a French colony?

Yeah verrazano claimed it in the name of King Francis and named it Nouvelle-Angouleme, however he never settled it and instead Settled Quebec. But what if Verrazano had created a Trading post on Manhattan Island. Dutch Never settle, British take New France after the 7 Years war

Well, how much territory did the British control on the East coast at this time? With a more wealthy and valuable colony, the French might contol the northern half of what were OTL first US states, pluse Quebec and some of of their more norther OTL Loisania territories. The Britsh manage to grab Florida and OTL Loiuisania however.

Oh, well I don't know what would happen with British & French territorial claims a while off. Though I think the British would fair better than the French, and the French will fair better than IOTL. I wonder if there will be a war w/ the Swedish for Nya Sverige.
 
IOTL French Jesuits converted a lot of the Huron Indians. Massive disease eventually ravaged the Huron (surprise, surprise).

The Mohawk went to war with the Huron to be able to trade with the French, also basically wiped them out. All this would be avoided if the French were were elsewhere. The Mohawk might push the Micmak (or whoever) out of the way to get access to trade, but the Five Nations should be a little stronger.

IOTL the Five Nations kept changing alliances between French, English, and Dutch. Sounds like their only option in TTL is the French. That could make the Five Nations more stable (and might make the French colony a little more stable as well).

Maybe the Five Nations become a French Protectorate.
 
  • French under Giovanni Da Verrazano settle in New Angouleme in the 1520s and then they claim land from what is New York all the way down to North Carolina for the French.
  • In 1534 Jacques Cartier establishes colonies in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec.
  • In 1608 Samuel De Champlain establishes Quebec.
  • Robert De Lasalle claimed the Great Lakes and sailed down the Mississippi river in 1683.
  • Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet maps the Mississippi river.
  • Pierre Lemonye D'Iberville explorers the northern coast of the Gulf Of Mexico.
And so much more
