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.
