4. Wall Street

Read about some famous places of New York City
Wall Street
No street has been more important to a city than Wall
Street has been to New York. Wall Street is now the city's
financial heart. And the New York Stock Exchange is also
situated here.
The New York Stock exchange began as a simple area
around an apple tree which grew at 68 Wall Street. It was
here, in 1792, that 24 traders agreed to deal only with each
other.
October 29, 1929, Black Tuesday was the collapse of the New York stock
markets and this soon led to The Great Depression.
Throughout the years, the advance of technology has produced many
changes at the stock exchange. Over 200 million shares are traded each day
for more than 2,000 companies.
The massive bronze statue of a bull, the symbol of Wall Street, has long
been a mascot for traders on Wall Street.

New York City was first called New Amsterdam by the explorer Henry
Hudson. He was working for a Dutch trading company when he entered
what is now the lower Hudson River in the year 1609. There, he found an
island that was a perfect trading center. The Manhattan Indians lived
there. Dutch traders built a town at the end of Manhattan Island. It became
a rich trading center. But the British questioned the right of the Dutch to
control the area. The two nations went to war in 1652. The governor of New
Amsterdam was Peter Stuyvesant. He worried that British settlers in New
England would attack his town. He ordered that a protective wall be built at
the north edge of Manhattan. The wall was more than seven hundred
meters long. It extended from the Hudson River to the East River. The
British never attacked New Amsterdam. So the wall was never tested in
war. But the path beside it became known as Wall Street. Later, Wall Street

end of Manhattan Island. It became a rich trading center. But the British questioned
the right of the Dutch to control the area. The two nations went to war in 1652. The
governor of New Amsterdam was Peter Stuyvesant. He worried that British settlers
in New England would attack his town. He ordered that a protective wall be built at
the north edge of Manhattan. The wall was more than seven hundred meters long. It
extended from the Hudson River to the East River. The British never attacked New
Amsterdam. So the wall was never tested in war. But the path beside it became
known as Wall Street. Later, Wall Street became a street of banks and businesses.
Today, other streets in New York are known for one product or industry. Madison
Avenue is the advertising center. Eight Avenue businesses make clothing. Fifth
Avenue stores sell costly clothes and jewelry. And Broadway is the street of famous
theaters.
