NEW YORK, NY
GENERAL HISTORY

 In 1524 the New York harbor was discovered by an Italian named Giovanni da
Verranzo. Dutch settlers came to the new found land from Europe and began the
first settlement on the island that was called New Amsterdam. Happening while
under the reign of the first governor, Peter Stuyvestant, the city was taken over by
the English in 1674. After this occurred the city of New Amsterdam was renamed
New York in honor of the Duke of York. By the 18th century there were over
60,000 habitants of the city, and the main industries, milling and ship building, were
just starting to seriously take off. The very first shipyard off of the harbor opened
in 1720. The British were forced to surrender after a series of fires to George
Washington on November 25th 1783.

THE SUBWAY

 One of the easily most momentous days in the history of New York
City begins with the grand opening of the subway. Mayor George B.
McClellan on October 27th, 1904 took the first ride. The track was only 9
miles in total distance and started from the City Hall terminal up the East
Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square,
