The ORIGINS OF NEW YORK

europeans arrive

In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson found New York Bay and the Hudson River while exploring for the Dutch. The Dutch began to settle the area. They traded with the natives for beaver furs which were popular in Europe at the time for making hats.

The first Dutch settlement was Fort Nassau established in 1614. Soon more settlements were built including Fort Orange in 1624 (which would later become Albany) and Fort Amsterdam in 1625. Fort Amsterdam would become the city of New Amsterdam which would later become New York City.

7. THE 9/11 MEMORIAL: NEVER FORGET

WORLD TRADE CENTER

WELCOME TO GROUND ZERO

On the morning of September 11th 2001 (9/11) a terrorist attack occurred when several hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center twin towers. Over 2700 people died and around 6000 other were injured. This was the deadliest terrorist attack of the country. In order to remember the people who died that day (including firefighters), the city created two huge waterfalls and engraved the names of the victims who lost their lives to this attack, so no one ever forgets.
