Black And White NEW YORK – [210 Photos]
No one will miss the opportunity to go to New York and visit one of the biggest and most powerful cities in the world. It’s true that New York is in America (i mean off course) but there are a lot of strangers and foreign people. Because of that we can call New York, “Biggest World Jungle” or “Big Apple” :). Enjoy in beautiful photos of old New York!
“The history of New York City begins with the Wappinger, a subdivision of the Algonquian speaking Lenape, who inhabited Manhattan prior to the arrival of Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524, and continues with its founding as “New Amsterdam” by the Dutch in 1624 and the period of English rule and its renaming as “New York City” in 1664. The city was the location for multiple battles of the American Revolutionary War, and served as the capital of the United States until 1790. Modern New York city traces its development to the consolidation of the five boroughs in 1898 and an economic and building boom following the Great Depression and World War II. Throughout its history, New York City has served as a main port of entry for many immigrants, and its cultural and economic influences have made it one of the most important urban areas in the United States.”
