About Manhattan, New York
Manhattan is a borough of 1,694,250 people, the smallest of New York City's five, and it covers the same ground as New York County. Before Europeans came, it was Lenape country, and the Lenape trail that ran from present-day Inwood down to Battery Park later became Broadway. Henry Hudson's voyage mapped the island in 1609, and his officer Robert Juet wrote its name in his logbook as Manna-hata.
Dutch fur traders settled on Governors Island in 1624, and work on Fort Amsterdam began on Manhattan in 1625. The town around the fort, New Amsterdam, was incorporated as a city on February 2, 1653. English forces took the colony in 1664 and renamed it New York for the Duke of York, the future King James II. The Dutch won it back in August 1673 and called it New Orange, but they handed it over to England for good the next year.
- The place for bowsThe name most likely comes from manaháhtaan, a word in Munsee, the local Lenape language, often translated as the place where people gathered wood for bows. A Munsee tradition written down in the 19th century by Albert Seqaqkind Anthony says a grove of hickory, the best wood for bows, gave the island its name.
- The first constitutional capitalThe Continental Army lost the Battle of Fort Washington in Manhattan on November 16, 1776, and withdrew from the island. British troops stayed until November 25, 1783, when George Washington returned on what became Evacuation Day. The Continental Congress met here from 1785, and from March 4, 1789, to August 12, 1790, Federal Hall served as the capital under the new Constitution. The Supreme Court first met there, and the Bill of Rights was drafted there.
- The grid of 1811By 1810 New York, which still covered only Manhattan, had passed Philadelphia as the largest city in the country. The Commissioners' Plan of 1811 then laid the island out in the street grid it still follows. The Erie Canal opened in 1825 and tied the port to the farms of the Midwest and Canada, making shipping 90% cheaper than hauling goods by road.
- Central Park in 1858Central Park covers 840 acres in the middle of the island. Its first sections opened to the public in 1858, making it the first landscaped public park built in an American city.
- A borough since 1898The Brooklyn Bridge opened across the East River in 1883. In 1898 New York joined with three neighboring counties, and Manhattan became one of five boroughs. The subway opened in 1904. Four towers here each held the title of world's tallest building in turn: the Woolworth Building, finished in 1913, then 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building, both from 1930, and finally the Empire State Building in 1931.
