<strong>New York City Celebrates Its 400th Anniversary</strong>
PLAY
It is hard to believe that New York City was once a small Dutch settlement. PLAY
An old document shows that Dutch settlers did, in fact, pay for this land. PLAY
The document can be seen at the city’s South Street Seaport Museum. PLAY
Martin Berense is head of the Netherlands National Archives. PLAY
He says the letter tells about a ship arriving in Amsterdam. PLAY
The ship’s operator said, The settlement is going well. And, we bought the island of Manhattan for sixty guilders. PLAY
The letter is on loan for New York’s four hundredth anniversary. PLAY
Berendse says the letter tells about the settlement, which became New York. PLAY
The museum also has a map of the settlement. PLAY
Another map shows just how small Manhattan was. PLAY
That changed when Britain took control. PLAY
Historian Barry Lewis says the British filled in part of the East River with waste because more land was needed. PLAY
BARRY LEWIS: We had only about one hundred thousand people at the beginning of the nineteenth century. PLAY
By 1875, the population of Manhattan is over one-million people. PLAY
By 1910, over two million people are living in Manhattan island. PLAY
The Brooklyn Bridge was built in eighteen eighty-three so people could move to Long Island, where land was less costly. PLAY
Lewis says people crossed the East River by carriage or boat. Or they walked across the bridge. PLAY
He says New York’s underground trains led to the development of land in areas far from the center of the city. PLAY
Many businesses needed to be in Manhattan. So developers started building up, creating the skyscraper. PLAY
BARRY LEWIS: People were afraid it would fall down in the first windstorm. PLAY
And anyone who had property in the commercial buildings next to it, they were terrified that no one would rent in their buildings because that thing was next door. PLAY
But more and more skyscrapers were built. Each one was higher than the next. PLAY
Lewis says the big reason for so many skyscrapers was money. PLAY
He says New York was built by investments in land. PLAY
That is not why everything was built. PLAY
Some structures have improved the look of the city. PLAY
Two examples are the Washington Square Arch and the Guggenheim Museum. PLAY
But money is still important on the island that began as a trading center four centuries ago. PLAY
The area the Dutch settled is now Wall Street, the world’s financial capital. PLAY
