INTRODUCTION HERE

History

New York was founded in 1624 by the Dutch, under the name New Amsterdam; the first settlement was located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island. In 1664 this settlement was conquered by the British, who changed its name to New York Because of the very high land prices on Manhattan Island, the 1920s and 1930s saw the construction of ever higher buildings, the so-called skyscrapers. The most famous of these is probably the Empire State Building, built in 1931, which until 1973 was the tallest in the world.
