== History ==
The Jonkman corporation or as it was known when it was founded “'''Jonkman Handelhuizen'''”  or Jonkman merchant houses, was first established by Cornelis Petrus Jonkman in late 1691 when Cornelis was just 16. He founded the company after he found that there was a hole as the WIC did not have any services for selling and buying goods from the many frontier towns west of the coast. Seeing this opportunity young Cornelis loaned money from his parents to buy a horse and cart. With this, he began traveling from frontier town to frontier town and buying their goods, selling them in the coastal cities and then buying goods there to sell them to the frontier towns. It turned out this was a very profitable industry and by 1711 Jonkman Handelhuizen had 20 Handelshuizen through the colony of Nieuw Nederlandt and had a network of trade outposts, and even a few ships of its own to buy and sell goods directly to and from far lands.
 
==== Early history ====
Through the early 1700s, the company continued to expand its operations and wealth slowly, outlasting those companies that rose quickly but fell just as quickly. When the grandson of Cornelis, Petrus, took over in 1743 the company had its headquarters in Nieuw Amsterdam a large factory where they stored their goods that they would sell to the frontier towns. It was with Petrus that the company began to invest in the ever-growing and developing frontier towns and gained a reputation as a fair merchant company that was not like the power-hungry Patronen and through its investment into the community it solidified itself amongst many of the more inland towns and communities. In 1789 the company by now being one of the largest trading companies of Nieuw Nederlandt made its first steps in diversifying, it bought various shipping companies and their trade outposts thus giving it direct access to products coming in from Latin America and Asia marking its first step into the global market.
The first Jonkman merchant houses (''handelhuysen'') were first established by [[Cornelis Jonkman]] in late 1691 - when he was still 17 - with his parents' support. He founded the company after he noticed that the West India Company neglected commerce in frontier areas. He bought goods from these frontier areas and sold them at a markup in New Amsterdam and other cities. By 1720, the Jonkman company had twenty merchant houses throughout many regions of New Netherland.
 
The company continued to expand its operations and wealth slowly throughout the 1700s, outlasting several other local corporations which went bankrupt. Petrus Jonkman, the son of Cornelis Jonkman, took over in the 1720s. He was contrasted with the elite and power-hungry Patroon families who ran the colony of New Netherland.
 
In 1789, being one of the largest trading companies of New Netherland already, sought to diversify. It bought out many minor companies and trading outposts, giving it a foothold in Latin America and Asia immediately after [[History of New Netherland#New Netherland Independence (1795-1796)|New Netherland gained its independence]]. They participated in forming economic ties between New Netherland and countries such as [[Mexico]], [[Florida]], and [[Tauland]].
 
'''==== 19th century''' growth ====
With the dawn of the 19th century, the company started to transform. The Jonkmans invested into mining, shipbuilding, ship transport, and early railroad development. By 1826, it owned 60% of all the railroads and the steamliners in the New Amsterdam metropolitan area. They worked to connect key manufacturing hubs to major commercial centers and opened textile mills.
 
With a new administration in power under [[History of New Netherland#Reign of Hendrick II van Ackerhuys (1836-1855)|Hendrick II]] in the early-to-mid 1800s, New Netherland began developing at a rapid pace. Jonkman expanded their operations into shipbuilding and chemicals during this time too. Despite the authoritarian regime at the time, the Jonkman company remained popular among the middle class. The Jonkman heirs began to exert their influence over elite society by marrying into wealthy families and expressing their generosity through philanthropy programs.
 
==== [[History of New Netherland#The Republican Era (1903-present)|Republican era]] and dominance ====
When the Republic of New Netherland was founded, the Jonkman company found itself in an interesting position. It discreetly maintained its relationship with the old Patroon elite and yet continued to develop amicable relations with the new Republican regime.
 
By the 1920s, the Jonkman conglomerate was the largest manufacturer in New Netherland. Its primary industries were industrial goods, shipping, trade, electricity, retail, insurance, and mining. With the rise of the Aero plane, Director [[Jan Anne Jonkman]] invested into aviation. In a series of acquisitions, the Group bought small aircraft manufacturers and designers. Growing their aviation sector, the Jonkmans collaborated with the New Netherlandish military to produce warplanes.
'''19th century'''
 
In 1927 the company also entered the radio broadcasting and entertainment industries. It became a silent investor into the popping entertainment industry in the region. Through their power in several aspects of New Netherlandish life, they exerted power over society and the government.
 
== Corporate structure ==
With the dawn of the 19th century and a newly independent Nieuw Nederlandt, the company started to transform itself. Further diversifying its own operations getting into mining, shipbuilding, ship transport, and the early railroad development. Aiding in the development of the infrastructure. By 1826 it owned 60% of all the railroads, steamliners around the Nieuw Amsterdam region having in effect a monopoly on transport. As Nieuw Nederlandt was developing its manufacturing base and numerous textile mills sprung up. Jonkman got in early and using its wealth it was able to move the railroad development and connect key manufacturing hubs in the country to the major commerce centers.
Jonkman Enterprises compromises around 93 companies, Its activities include construction, consumer electronics, financial services, shipbuilding, defence products, aerospace, car manufacturing and medical services. Its corporate structure is thus often said to be a massive web that has over the centuries become more and more efficient.

With the new goverment in power in the 1840s and 1850s, NNL began massive catchup from which Jonkman provided greatly. Expanding its operations further into shipbuilding, chemicals, trade and commerce, and further railroads. The 1800s were thus marked by the extensive and rapid growth of the company and the family her wealth and influence in the nation. Despite at the time authoritarian goverment the company remained relatively popular with the general population due to it investing in the quality of life for its employees. It thus created an image that was one of caring which increased its overall wealth, it at the same time made contact with the wealthy upper-class Patroons even marrying some of their daughters to them. By this point, the family had more wealth than some of the Patronen themselves thus gaining more political leverage.
