New York City was first
settled by the English in 1664, and grew quickly due to the trading
ports and influx of arrivals from Europe. After the Revolutionary War,
the city served as the first capital of the United States. Federal Hall
on Wall Street hosted the first assembly of the United States Supreme
Court and the United States Congress, as well as the ratification of the
Constitution, and the drafting of the United States Bill of Rights. By
the late 1700's the city surpassed Philadelphia and became the largest
city in the country, which it has remained to this day. This beautiful
map provides a look at the early days of the city. Complete reference
list below.
