New York traces its
rich history to Lower Manhattan, the meeting point of the Hudson
River and the East River. Originally named Nieuw (New) Amsterdam,
New York City began as a small Dutch settlement in what is now known
as Lower Manhattan. Broadway, which was then called Heere Straat
(Gentleman Street), was nothing but a small road. Wall Street
actually had a wall back in 1653 to protect the settlers from
attacks. As the city grew, so did the nation. New York was the first
capital of the United States and the spot where George Washington
was inaugurated is marked by his statue.
Over the years, Lower
Manhattan has become the financial capital of the world. Today, the
streets are teeming with people and filled with stories of New
York's past, present and future. As you explore Lower Manhattan with
your guide, you'll see the World Trade Center site, St. Paul's
Chapel, Battery Park, and Trinity Church and the history of the
Native American, Dutch, and the English.

political freedom and democracy.
