NEW YORK
New York City, named “The Big Apple” by jazz musicians in the 1920s, is the city that never sleep. It is alive and full of adventure, a magnet for people from all over the world with dreams and ambitions. Founded in 1625, it was chartered as a city in 1653. New York City is one of the largest cities in the United States and is among the largest in the world.
From its founding, it has served as a gateway to America. Beginning in 1892, millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island in the New York Harbour, where their first image of America was the famous and beautiful Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886. “The Lady”, as the Statue of Liberty is often called, was restored in 1986 and offers a spectacular view of the New York skyline. Half of New York City’s population is either foreign born or has a foreign born parents.
New York City is divided into five boroughs or sections. The island of Manhattan is what many people think of when they think of New York City because it is considered the “heart” of the city, but it is only one of the five boroughs. The others are Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Richmond, better known as Staten Island. The boroughs are connected to each other and to the rest of the state by bridges and tunnels.
