The Jonkman |
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. |
||
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 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. |

=== '''19th century''' === |

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. |
|||
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]]. |

With the new government 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 government 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. |

When the republic was founded and properly installed Jonkman Handelhuizen or as it was more commonly known Jonkman Compagnie found itself in an interesting position. Through the latter half of the 1800s, it has invested a great amount of money and made itself incredibly wealthy through its close ties with the pre republican goverment. While it had close ties with the elite it still retained its position as a company that cared about its workers and was not directly associated with the old regime. This put it in a position where it was able to weather the early years and continue to expand, not just diversifying its operations but also expanding its operations across the American continent. It was a major contributing factor in NNL her rapid economic growth and advancement from backwater to one of the leading industrial powers on the continent and even in the world. |

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.

By the 1920s the Jonkman Groep was then known as the largest manufacturer and innovator of NNL, its backbone being industrial goods, ships, trade, electricity, retail, insurance, and mining yet it was to start its newest and riskiest expansion yet. With the rise of the Aeroplane Jan Anne Jonkman, the then Director-Generaal of the Groep knew that it was an industry that would be the future. In a series of acquisitions, the Groep bought small aircraft manufactures and designers, and with the help of the military, who wanted a sustainable and robust domestic Aviation industry it began to build up the aviation industry of NNL. In 1927 it also entered the radio broadcasting industry and entertainment industry as it established itself as a movie producer, radio broadcaster, film equipment, and radio makers, it even bought several theatres throughout the nation. It became a silent contributor to the growing entertainment industry in NNL. It was in this period of time that the company became one of the wealthiest if not the wealthiest company in Nieuw Nederlandt with its influence being strong enough to put itself in the Huis der Patronen.
