A City Built on History and Diversity
New York City was founded by Dutch settlers in 1624 as New Amsterdam. Located at the southern tip of Manhattan, it quickly became a vital trading outpost. In 1664, the British took control and renamed it New York in honor of the Duke of York. Since then, the city has been a gateway to opportunity, welcoming millions of immigrants from around the world.
In the 1800s, the Erie Canal connected the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, turning New York into a global commercial center. Landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and skyscrapers like the Flatiron Building signaled its emergence as a modern metropolis. By the early 20th century, it was already one of the most influential cities in the world.
The Living Heart of a Global City
Today, over 8 million people call New York City home. With more than 200 languages spoken, it’s the most linguistically diverse city on the planet. Each neighborhood — from Harlem to Chinatown, Little Italy to Queens — carries its own flavor and traditions, contributing to the cultural richness that defines life in the city.
The city pulses with energy — from the constant motion of yellow cabs to the dazzling lights of Times Square. It’s a place where Wall Street meets street art, where history lives beside innovation, and where every visitor becomes part of the story.
