South Pacific
is a
musical
composed by
Richard Rodgers
, with lyrics by
Oscar Hammerstein II
and
book
by Hammerstein and
Joshua Logan
. The work premiered in 1949 on
Broadway
and was an immediate hit, running for 1,925 performances. The plot is based on
James A. Michener
's
Pulitzer Prize?winning
1947 book
Tales of the South Pacific
and combines elements of several of those stories.
Rodgers and Hammerstein
believed they could write a musical based on Michener's work that would be financially successful and, at the same time, send a strong progressive message on racism.
The plot centers on an American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II, who falls in love with a middle-aged expatriate French plantation owner but struggles to accept his mixed-race children. A secondary romance, between a
U.S. Marine
lieutenant and a young
Tonkinese
woman, explores his fears of the social consequences should he marry his Asian sweetheart. The issue of racial prejudice is candidly explored throughout the musical, most controversially in the lieutenant's song, "
You've Got to Be Carefully Taught
". Supporting characters, including a comic
petty officer
and the Tonkinese girl's mother, help to tie the stories together. Because he lacked military knowledge, Hammerstein had difficulty writing that part of the script. The director of the original production, Logan, assisted him and received credit as co-writer of the book.
The original Broadway production enjoyed immense critical and box-office success, became
the second-longest running Broadway musical
to that point (behind Rodgers and Hammerstein's earlier
Oklahoma!
(1943)), and has remained popular ever since. After they signed
Ezio Pinza
and
Mary Martin
as the leads, Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote several of the songs with the particular talents of their stars in mind. The piece won the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama
in 1950. Especially in the Southern U.S., its racial theme provoked controversy, for which its authors were unapologetic. Several of its songs, including "
Bali Ha'i
", "
I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair
", "
Some Enchanted Evening
", "
There Is Nothing Like a Dame
", "
Happy Talk
", "
Younger Than Springtime
", and "
I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy
", have become popular standards. (

The Metropolitan Park office complex during construction in February 2023
Amazon HQ2
is
Amazon
's
corporate headquarters
in
National Landing
in
Crystal City, Virginia
and an expansion of the company's headquarters in
Seattle
, Washington. Phase I, which has capacity for 14,000 employees, opened in June 2023. Construction on Phase II is delayed and there is no timeline for development.
HQ2 was announced in September 2017, when Amazon submitted
request for proposals
to governments and economic development organizations asking for
tax breaks
and other incentives to entice the company. Amazon claimed that it intended to spend $5 billion on construction and that HQ2 would house 50,000 workers when completed. More than 200 cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States eventually offered
tax breaks
, expedited construction approvals, promises of infrastructure improvements, new crime-reduction programs, and other incentives. On January 18, 2018, a shortlist of 20 finalists was announced, after which the candidate localities continued to detail or expand their incentive packages.
On November 13, 2018, Amazon announced that HQ2 would be split into two locations, with 25,000 workers at each:
National Landing
in
Arlington County, Virginia
, and
Long Island City
in
Queens
,
New York City
. Virginia would provide as much as $750 million in taxpayer subsidies. New York planned to give Amazon tax breaks of at least $1.525 billion, cash grants of $325 million, and other incentives. In February 2019, Amazon cancelled the New York location after strong opposition from local grassroots organizers, residents and politicians. The project has drawn criticism as an example of
corporate welfare

48 Wall Street
, formerly the
Bank of New York & Trust Company Building
, is a 32-story, 512-foot-tall (156 m) skyscraper on the corner of
Wall Street
and
William Street
in the
Financial District
of
Lower Manhattan
in
New York City
. Built in 1927?1929 in the
Neo-Georgian
and
Colonial Revival
styles, it was designed by
Benjamin Wistar Morris
.
The current structure is the third to be erected on the same plot, as the
Bank of New York
had previously erected buildings on the site in 1797 and 1858. The structure was erected during a period when many skyscrapers were being erected in Lower Manhattan. 48 Wall Street is designed with many neo-Georgian details. The lowest three stories, built over a raised
basement
, were used as the banking floor and feature large arched windows on the second story, as well as
pediments
over the entrances. The top of the building contains a
cupola
designed in the
Federal
style and topped by a statue of an eagle.
The Bank of New York moved out of 48 Wall Street in 1998, after which it was renovated extensively.
Museum of American Finance
occupied the former banking hall from 2007 to 2018; it was replaced by Will & Wall, a multi-purpose event venue. The building was designated a city landmark by the
New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission
in 1998 and was added to the
National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP) in 2003. It is also a contributing property to the
Wall Street Historic District
, a NRHP district created in 2007. (

The Jamaica bound platform at Kew Gardens?Union Turnpike, with the two parts of the station name printed in reverse order on the overhead sign.
The
Kew Gardens?Union Turnpike station
(signed as
Union Turnpike?Kew Gardens station
on overhead and entrance signs) is an express
station
on the
IND Queens Boulevard Line
of the
New York City Subway
. Located at
Union Turnpike
and
Queens Boulevard
on the border of
Kew Gardens
and
Forest Hills, Queens
, it is served by the
E
and
F
trains at all times, and the
<F>
train during rush hours in the reverse peak direction. Despite the station's name, Union Turnpike forms the border between Kew Gardens and Forest Hills, and the station straddles that border, with multiple entrances located in each neighborhood.
The station opened on December 31, 1936 as the new terminal for the
Independent Subway System
's Queens Boulevard Line. The opening of the station brought significant growth to the adjacent communities of Forest Hills and Kew Gardens, transforming them from quiet residential communities to active population centers. The station became compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
in 2008 with the installation of three elevators and a ramp. Today, the station serves as a major transfer point between the subway and local buses. Bus service to eastern Queens or southern-central Queens is provided by the
Q46
, and the
Q10
and
Q37
, respectively. (

The
Roosevelt Island station
is a
station
on the
IND 63rd Street Line
of the
New York City Subway
. Located in
Manhattan
on
Roosevelt Island
in the
East River
, it is served by the
F
train at all times and the
<F>
train during rush hours in the reverse peak direction.
The Roosevelt Island station was first proposed in 1965, when the
New York City Transit Authority
(NYCTA) announced that it would build a subway station to encourage
transit-oriented development
on Roosevelt Island. The station and the rest of the 63rd Street Line were built as part of the
Program for Action
, a wide-ranging subway expansion program, starting in the late 1960s. When construction of the line was delayed, the
Roosevelt Island Tram
was built in 1973. The Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation was formed in 1984 to develop the island, but was not successful until October 1989 when the subway station opened along with the rest of the 63rd Street Line. The opening encouraged the development of the island, which has made the station busier.
Until December 2001, this was the second-to-last stop of the line, which terminated one stop east at
21st Street?Queensbridge
. In 2001, the 63rd Street Tunnel Connection opened, allowing trains from the
IND Queens Boulevard Line
to use the line. Since the opening of the connection, the line has been served by F trains, and the subway then became the second means for direct travel between the island and Queens, supplementing the buses that had been operating over the Roosevelt Island Bridge. The station is one of the system's deepest, at 100 feet (30 m) below ground, because the line passes under the West and East Channels of the East River at either end of the station. (

The
Q79
bus route
constituted a
public transit
line in
Queens
,
New York City
. It ran primarily along Little Neck Parkway between
Little Neck station
and Jamaica Avenue. Service on the route, initially known as the Q12A, began on June 4, 1950, following a request made by Queens Borough President
Maurice A. FitzGerald
. In 1990, the route was renumbered the Q79. In 1996, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority proposed extending the route to Floral Park, but this extension was canceled to community opposition. This route was operated by the
New York City Transit
brand until June 27, 2010, when it was discontinued under system-wide service cuts. (

The
IRT New Lots Line
or
Livonia Avenue Line
is a
rapid transit
line in the
A Division
of the
New York City Subway
. Located in the
New York City
borough
of
Brooklyn
, the line runs from the
Crown Heights?Utica Avenue station
in
Crown Heights
and continues to the
New Lots Avenue station
in
East New York
.
The New Lots Line is entirely elevated and consists of seven stations; most of the line has two tracks, except for
Junius Street station
, which has three tracks. It runs mostly above Livonia Avenue in
Brownsville
and East New York, except for a short section above East 98th Street in Brownsville. The line is served by the
3
train at all times except late nights, when the

train takes over service. During rush hours, occasional
2
, 4, and
5
trains also serve the line.
The New Lots Line was built as a part of Contract 3 of the
Dual Contracts
between New York City and the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
. The first portion of the line between
Utica Avenue
and
Junius Street
opened on November 22, 1920, with shuttle trains operating over this route. The line opened one more stop farther to the east to
Pennsylvania Avenue
on December 24, 1920. Service was extended to
New Lots Avenue
on October 16, 1922. In 1968, as part of the proposed
Program for Action
, the IRT New Lots Line would have been extended past New Lots Avenue toward
Spring Creek
, but the plan was never completed. Stations on the line were rebuilt several times throughout the years. (

The
Low Memorial Library
(nicknamed
Low
) is a building at the center of
Columbia University
's
Morningside Heights
campus in
Upper Manhattan
,
New York City
, United States. The building, located near
116th Street
between
Broadway
and
Amsterdam Avenue
, was designed by
Charles Follen McKim
of the firm
McKim, Mead & White
. The building was constructed between 1895 and 1897 as the
university's central library
, although it has contained the university's central administrative offices since 1934. Columbia University president
Seth Low
funded the building with $1 million (equivalent to $37 million in 2023) and named the edifice in memory of his father,
Abiel Abbot Low
. Low's
facade
and interior are
New York City designated landmarks
, and the building is also designated as a
National Historic Landmark
.
Low is arranged in the shape of a
Greek cross
. Three sets of stairs on the library's south side lead to a
colonnade
with a frieze describing its founding. The steps contain
Daniel Chester French
's sculpture
Alma Mater
, a university symbol. The library is four stories tall, excluding a ground-level basement. The building's raised first floor has an entrance vestibule, as well as an
ambulatory
around an octagonal
rotunda
, which leads to offices on the outer walls. The rotunda contains a sky-blue plaster dome and four Vermont granite columns on each of its four sides. The library's
stacks
could store one-and-a-half million volumes; the east wing hosted the
Avery Architectural Library
and the north wing hosted Columbia's
law library
.
The library was built as part of Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus, which was developed in the 1890s according to a master plan by McKim. When Low Library was completed, it was poorly suited for library use, becoming overcrowded from the early 20th century. Low's central location, however, made it a focal point of the university's campus. Following the completion of the much larger
Butler Library
in 1934, the Low Memorial Library was converted to administrative offices. (

The bar's exterior in October 2021
Rise Bar
, or simply
Rise
, is a
gay bar
in the
Hell's Kitchen
neighborhood of
Manhattan
in New York City. Opened in 2015, it is a small establishment surrounded by a number of larger
LGBT
nightlife venues. The bar is most popular among
gay men
and some women. It features
pop music
and hosts weekly entertainment including
drag shows
,
open-mic nights
and
karaoke
. Though Rise's owners invested in soundproofing before it opened, noise concerns from nearby residents initially led the
local community board
and
state liquor authority
to require the venue to close at an earlier hour than its competitors. Following a contentious series of applications to modify Rise's operating schedule and liquor license, this requirement was overturned for weekend nights. The establishment has received praise for its welcoming, diverse atmosphere. (

Rockefeller Center
is a complex of 19
commercial
buildings covering 22 acres (89,000 m
2
) between
48th Street
and
51st Street
in the
Midtown Manhattan
neighborhood of
New York City
. The 14 original
Art Deco
buildings, commissioned by the
Rockefeller family
, span the area between
Fifth Avenue
and
Sixth Avenue
, split by a large sunken square and a private street called Rockefeller Plaza. Later additions include
75 Rockefeller Plaza
across 51st Street at the north end of Rockefeller Plaza, and four
International Style
buildings on the west side of Sixth Avenue.
In 1928,
Columbia University
, the owner of the site, leased the land to
John D. Rockefeller Jr.
, who was the main person behind the complex's construction. Originally envisioned as the site for a new
Metropolitan Opera
building, the current Rockefeller Center came about after the Met could not afford to move to the proposed new building. Various plans were discussed before the current one was approved in 1932.
Construction of Rockefeller Center
started in 1931, and the first buildings opened in 1933. The core of the complex was completed by 1939. Described as one of the greatest projects of the
Great Depression
era, Rockefeller Center became a
New York City designated landmark
in 1985 and a
National Historic Landmark
in 1987. The complex and associated land has been controlled since 2000 by
Tishman Speyer
, which bought the property for $1.85 billion.
The original center has several sections. Radio City, along Sixth Avenue and centered on
30 Rockefeller Plaza
, includes
Radio City Music Hall
and was built for
RCA
's radio-related enterprises such as
NBC
. The International Complex along Fifth Avenue was built to house foreign-based tenants. The remainder of the original complex originally hosted printed media as well as
Eastern Air Lines
. While 600 Fifth Avenue is at the southeast corner of the complex, it was built by private interests in the 1950s and was only acquired by the center in 1963. The complex is noted for the large quantities of art present in almost all of its buildings, its expansive underground concourse, its
ice-skating rink
, and its annual lighting of the
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
. (

The American broadcast premiere of
Dmitri Shostakovich
's
Symphony No. 7
was performed by the
NBC Symphony Orchestra
conducted by
Arturo Toscanini
on July 19, 1942. This was followed by the American concert premiere played at
Tanglewood
by the Berkshire Music Center Orchestra, a student ensemble, conducted by
Serge Koussevitzky
on August 16.
Shostakovich's music had been well known in the United States since the local premiere of his
Symphony No. 1
in 1928. His opera
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District
was celebrated and criticized upon its American premiere in 1935; the fallout from its
censure by Soviet authorities in 1936
was reported on across the country. The fortunes of his
Symphony No. 5
and resulting political rehabilitation were also extensively covered in the press.
The Symphony No. 7 was completed on December 27, 1941, followed by the first American news reports about it in January 1942. Its origins in the
siege of Leningrad
, during which Shostakovich briefly worked in a local firefighting brigade, generated levels of public interest and press coverage considered unusually high for a modern musical composition.
Leopold Stokowski
and Toscanini, co-music directors of the
NBC Symphony Orchestra
, competed for the first broadcast rights to the symphony, which were ultimately won by the latter. Koussevitzky was granted the right to conduct the first performance in concert. (

Forest Park Carousel, July 2012
The
Forest Park Carousel
is a historic
carousel
at
Forest Park
in
Queens
, New York City. The carousel, one of two known surviving carousels built by Daniel Carl Muller, was built
c.
1903
and contains 52 figures and its original band organ. Originally located in
Dracut, Massachusetts
, the carousel was relocated to Forest Park in 1972, replacing an earlier carousel on the site. The ride, operated by NY Carousel since 2012, is part of a seasonal amusement center called Forest Park Carousel Amusement Village. The Forest Park Carousel was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
in 2004 and has been a
New York City designated landmark
since 2013.
The carousel is on Forest Park Drive, just west of
Woodhaven Boulevard
, and is housed in a one-story
pavilion
designed by
Victor Christ-Janer
. Its figures include 36 moving horses, 13 stationary horses, three
menagerie
figures, and two chariots. The horses, animals, and chariots are placed in three rows on a two-level rotating platform. Each of the horses has a different hand-carved design, and the horses also have a large number of realistic features. Although Muller designed most of the horses, one horse is credited to William Dentzel, while two others are attributed to Charles Carmel. Two other horses were made of fiberglass and may date from the 1980s. The platform rotates around a wooden cabinet with a
band organ
designed by the Andreas Ruth and Sohn Band Organ Company. The organ is surrounded by 18 panels with murals, which were installed in the early 2000s and were designed by Jonathan Lev.
The current Forest Park Carousel is older than the structure that it replaced, which was built
c.
1916
and burned down under suspicious circumstances in December 1966. The
New York City Department of Parks and Recreation
(NYC Parks) attempted to procure a replacement carousel for several years, and it gave
Restaurant Associates
a concession to operate the ride. Restaurant Associates bought Lakeview Park's carousel and reopened it in November 1973; the ride continued to operate until the mid-1980s. Carousel Parks Inc., led by
Marvin Sylvor
, leased the ride in 1988 and reopened it the next year following an extensive restoration. Sylvor operated the ride until 1993, and NYC Parks reassigned the concession to Carlos Colon the next year. After the carousel closed in 2008, various community groups began advocating for the ride to be designated as a New York City landmark. NY Carousel reopened the ride in 2012 following an extensive restoration, and it renovated the carousel again in 2014. (

The
Cunard Building
, formerly the
Standard & Poors Building
, is a 22-story office building at 25
Broadway
, across from
Bowling Green Park
, in the
Financial District
of
Lower Manhattan
in
New York City
. The Cunard Building was designed in the
Italian Renaissance
style by
Benjamin Wistar Morris
, in conjunction with consultants
Carrere & Hastings
. The Cunard Building's facade and principal first-floor interior spaces are
New York City designated landmarks
, and the building is also a contributing property to the
Wall Street Historic District
, a
National Register of Historic Places
district created in 2007.
The Cunard Building's main facade, on Broadway, is made of limestone and consists of three horizontal sections. The design employs
setbacks
and open "
light courts
" as mandated by the
1916 Zoning Resolution
. The structure was designed around an irregular street grid and is located directly above a
subway
line that crosses the building site diagonally. The first floor interior contains an elaborately decorated lobby, as well as a similarly opulent Great Hall, which extends 185 feet (56 m) with a 65-foot-tall (20 m) dome. The remaining floors contain various offices and school spaces.
The Cunard Building was erected for the New York City office of British-American steamship operator
Cunard Line
; construction started in 1920 and the building was completed the next year. Upon completion, the Cunard Building's exterior and interior designs received critical acclaim, and the building was almost fully leased to tenants in various industries. The Twenty-five Broadway Corporation, a Cunard Line affiliate, owned the building until the 1960s. The Great Hall was vacated after the Cunard Line moved out in 1968; the
United States Postal Service
occupied the Great Hall from 1974 until 2000, and
Cipriani S.A.
started using the space in 2014. The upper floors continued to host offices and various educational facilities. (

The
Archer Avenue lines
are two
rapid transit
lines of the
New York City Subway
, mostly running under Archer Avenue in the
Jamaica
neighborhood of
Queens
. The two lines are built on separate levels: trains from the
IND Queens Boulevard Line
(
E
train) serve the upper level, and trains from the
BMT Jamaica Line
(
J
and
Z
trains) serve the lower.
The two lines are separate, and do not share track connections, and therefore have different
chainings
and radio frequencies. The B2 (
IND Division
) Archer Avenue line uses the upper level, and the B1 (
BMT Division
) Archer Avenue line uses the lower level.
These lines were conceived as part of the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA)'s
1968 expansion plans
, and along with the
63rd Street lines
and a small section of the
Second Avenue Subway
, they were the only portions of the plan to be completed before it was scaled back due to fiscal issues. These lines were originally planned to be extended further east into Queens. Construction on the line started in 1973, and the project was expected to be completed in 1980. However, due to financial issues and concern about the quality of the construction, the lines did not open until December 11, 1988. On that date, several bus routes serving the
169th Street
station were diverted to the new bus terminal at Jamaica Center. This line is also used by passengers transferring to or from the
Long Island Rail Road
and the
AirTrain JFK

The Century
is an
apartment building
at 25
Central Park West
, between 62nd and 63rd Streets, adjacent to
Central Park
on the
Upper West Side
of
Manhattan
in
New York City
. It was constructed from 1930 to 1931 at a cost of $6.5 million and designed by the firm of
Irwin S. Chanin
in the
Art Deco
style. The Century is 30 stories tall, with twin towers rising from a 19-story base. The building is a
contributing property
to the
Central Park West Historic District
, a
National Register of Historic Places
–listed district, and is a
New York City designated landmark
.
The lowest 19 stories surround an interior courtyard to the west, and two towers rise from the eastern portion of the base above that level. There are several cantilevered
terraces
with Art Deco balustrades. The ground story, and much of the second story, is clad with an ochre-colored stone
facade
and contains a
water table
of pink granite. The remainder of the facade is largely made of tan brick, with multi-paned windows, though some portions of the facade are clad with brown brick. There are shallow
bow windows
on Central Park West, as well as enclosed
solariums
at the northeast and southeast corners. When the building opened, it operated much like a short-term hotel with housekeeping and catering services, and it had 417 apartments and 1,688 rooms.
The Century was officially completed at the end of December 1931. Numerous entertainment and business tenants have lived in the building over the years, and Irwin Chanin lived in the building for over a half-century. The Century was purchased in 1982 by a consortium that proposed the next year to convert the building into a
housing cooperative
; the consortium withdrew the plan and a tenant?landlord dispute continued for several years. Most of the building was converted to
condominiums
in 1989, and the Century remained a luxury residential apartment building through the beginning of the 21st century. (

Brooklyn
is a
borough
of
New York City
. Located on the westernmost end of
Long Island
, it is coextensive with
Kings County
in the
U.S. state
of
New York
. With 2,736,074 residents as of the
2020 United States census
, Kings County is the most populous of the five boroughs of New York City and the most populous
county
in the State of New York. The population density of Brooklyn was 37,339.9 inhabitants per square mile (14,417.0/km
2
) in 2022, making it the
second-most-densely-populated county
in the United States, behind
Manhattan
, and it had the ninth-highest population of any county nationwide. Were Brooklyn still an independent city, it would be the
fourth most populous in the U.S.
after the rest of
New York City
,
Los Angeles
, and
Chicago
.
Named after the Dutch town of
Breukelen
in the Netherlands, Brooklyn shares a border with the borough of
Queens
. It has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan, across the
East River
, and is connected to
Staten Island
by way of the
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
. With a land area of 69.38 square miles (179.7 km
2
) and a water area of 27.48 square miles (71.2 km
2
), Kings County is the state of New York's fourth-smallest county by land area and third smallest by total area. (

Queens
is a
borough of New York City
, coextensive with
Queens County
, in the
U.S. state
of
New York
. Located at the western end of
Long Island
, it is the largest of the five
New York City
boroughs by area. It is bordered by the borough of
Brooklyn
and by
Nassau County
to its east, and shares maritime borders with the boroughs of
Manhattan
,
the Bronx
, and
Staten Island
, as well as with
New Jersey
. Queens is the most
linguistically
and
ethnically diverse
place on Earth.
With a population of 2,405,464 as of the
2020 census
, Queens is the second-most populous county in New York state, behind Kings County (Brooklyn), and is therefore also the second-most populous of the five New York City boroughs. If Queens were its own city, it would be the
fourth most-populous in the U.S.
after
New York City
itself,
Los Angeles
, and
Chicago
. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated borough in New York City and the fourth-most densely populated
U.S. county

Staten Island
(
STAT
-?n
) is the southernmost
borough
of
New York City
, coextensive with
Richmond County
and situated at the southern most point of
New York
. The borough is separated from the adjacent state of
New Jersey
by the
Arthur Kill
and the
Kill Van Kull
and from the rest of New York by
New York Bay
. With a population of 495,747 in the
2020 Census
, Staten Island is the least populated New York City borough but the third largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi (152 km
2
); it is also the least densely populated and most
suburban
borough in the city.
A home to the
Lenape
indigenous people, the island was settled by Dutch colonists in the 17th century. It was one of the 12 original counties of New York state. Staten Island was
consolidated with New York City in 1898
. It was formerly known as the
Borough of Richmond
until 1975, when its name was changed to Borough of Staten Island. Staten Island has sometimes been called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by the
city government
. It has also been referred to as the "borough of parks" due to its 12,300 acres of protected parkland and over 170 parks. (

Manhattan
(
) is the most densely populated and geographically smallest of the
five boroughs
of
New York City
. The borough is coextensive with
New York County
, the smallest
county
by geographical area in the
U.S. state
of
New York
. Located almost entirely on Manhattan Island near the southern tip of the state, Manhattan constitutes the center of the
Northeast megalopolis
and the urban core of the
New York metropolitan area
. Manhattan serves as New York City's
economic
and
administrative
center and has been described as the cultural, financial,
media
, and
entertainment
capital of the world.
Present-day Manhattan was originally part of
Lenape
territory. European settlement began with the establishment of a
trading post
by
Dutch colonists
in 1624 on southern Manhattan Island; the post was named
New Amsterdam
in 1626. The territory and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King
Charles II of England
granted the lands to his brother, the
Duke of York
. New York, based in present-day
Lower Manhattan
, served as the
capital of the United States
from 1785 until 1790. The
Statue of Liberty
in
New York Harbor
greeted millions of arriving immigrants
in the late 19th century
and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals. Manhattan became a borough during the
consolidation of New York City
in 1898, and houses
New York City Hall
, the seat of the
city's government
. The
Stonewall Inn
in
Greenwich Village
, part of the
Stonewall National Monument
, is considered the
birthplace
of the modern
gay rights movement
, cementing Manhattan's central role in
LGBT culture
. It was also the site of the
World Trade Center
, which was
destroyed
during the
September 11 terrorist attacks
. (

The Bronx
(
) is a
borough
of
New York City
, coextensive with
Bronx County
, in the
U.S. state
of
New York
. It is south of
Westchester County
; north and east of the New York City borough of
Manhattan
, across the
Harlem River
; and north of the New York City borough of
Queens
, across the
East River
. The Bronx is the only New York City borough not primarily located on an island. The Bronx has a land area of 42 square miles (109 km
2
) and a population of 1,472,654 in the
2020 census
. If each borough were ranked as a city, the Bronx would rank as the
ninth-most-populous in the U.S.
Of the five boroughs, it has the fourth-largest area, fourth-highest population, and third-highest
population density
. The population density of the Bronx was 32,718.7 inhabitants per square mile (12,632.8/km
2
) in 2022, the third-highest population density of any county in the United States, behind
Manhattan
and
Brooklyn
. With a population that is 54.8% Hispanic as of 2020, it is the
only majority-Hispanic county
in the
Northeastern United States
and the
fourth-most-populous nationwide
.
The Bronx is divided by the
Bronx River
into a hillier section in the
west
, and a flatter
eastern
section. East and west street names are divided by
Jerome Avenue
. The West Bronx was annexed to New York City in 1874, and the areas east of the Bronx River in 1895. Bronx County was separated from New York County (modern-day Manhattan) in 1914. About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space, including
Woodlawn Cemetery
,
Van Cortlandt Park
,
Pelham Bay Park
, the
New York Botanical Garden
, and the
Bronx Zoo
in the borough's north and center. The
Thain Family Forest
at the New York Botanical Garden is thousands of years old and is New York City's largest remaining tract of the original forest that once covered the city. These open spaces are primarily on land reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan. (
