What began as a modest Dutch trading settlement evolved into the world's preeminent hub for finance, culture and creative innovation. 1624 ### The Dutch Settlement Dutch colonists established Nieuw Amsterdam on the southern tip of Manhattan, setting up a trading station on behalf of the Dutch West India Company. 1664 ### Birth of New York British forces seized control of the Dutch settlement and rechristened it New York, honoring the Duke of York, brother of King Charles II. 1776 ### The War of Independence New York became a pivotal theatre in the American Revolution. The Battle of Long Island ranked among the conflict's largest military engagements. 1789 ### America's First Capital George Washington took the oath of office as the nation's inaugural President at Federal Hall on Wall Street, establishing New York as the country's first seat of government. 1886 ### The Statue of Liberty Gifted by France, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled in New York Harbor, becoming an enduring symbol of freedom and hope for millions of arriving immigrants. 1898 ### Unification of the Five Boroughs Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island formally merged to create the City of New York — the sprawling metropolis we recognize today. 1931 ### The Empire State Building Construction of the Empire State Building was completed — at 1,454 feet it became the tallest structure in the world, embodying American ambition and engineering prowess. 1950s ### Global Cultural Capital New York emerged as the world's epicenter for visual arts, jazz, Broadway theatre and beat literature, drawing creative talent from every corner of the globe. 2001 ### September 11 The terrorist attacks brought down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The city responded with remarkable resilience and collective solidarity throughout the rebuilding process. Today ### Modern-Day New York Home to over 8 million residents and welcoming roughly 60 million visitors each year, New York continues to rank among the most vibrant, diverse and captivating cities anywhere on the planet. ### Get your tickets [ ![Edge NYC: General Admission](https://aws-tiqets-cdn.imgix.net/images/content/cd0254c6035d41b38b6c9559dc1410ff.jpg?auto=format,compress&fit=crop&w=800&h=533&q=70) #### Edge NYC: General Admission 4.6 · 1-2 hours Starting at €46 ](/en/experience/edge-nyc-general-admission)[ ![New York CityPASS](https://aws-tiqets-cdn.imgix.net/images/content/a02b54f4e0344f6e86f2d485c462f2d0.jpg?auto=format,compress&fit=crop&w=800&h=500&q=70) #### New York CityPASS 4.6 · Valid 9 days Starting at €146 ](/en/experience/new-york-citypass) [View all >](/en/experiences) New York Tutto su New York City in un unico portale: biglietti per le attrazioni, visite guidate e city pass per esplorare la metropoli più famosa del mondo.
