NEW YORKNEW YORK

• New York is the largest city in the United States. It is situated in the southern part of New York state, at the mouth of the Hudson River.

• In 1609, Henry Hudson, who worked for the Dutch East India Company, sailed up the river that now bears his name and went as far as Albany.

• Five years later, a permanent settlement was established at what is now New York, but at that time it was called New Amster dam by the Dutch governors. In 1664, Great Britain's Duke of York seized settlement from the Dutch. The colony was named in honor of the Duke.

• In 1898, Greater New York included the following 5 boroughs: Manhattan (New York county); Brooklyn (King's county); The Bronx (Bronx county); Queen's (Queen's county); Staten Island (Richmond county). Today, the Big Apple is a major world capital, and the world leader in finance, the arts, and communications.
