(“manahatta”)
(/mænˈhætən/, /mənˈhætən/)
(“island of many hills”)
(from the “lenape” language)
.
*the most densely populated borough of “New York City”,
its economic and administrative center,
*the city’s historical birthplace*
.
(the borough is co-extensive with New York County, founded on 1 november 1683, as one of the original counties of the U.S. state of “New York”)
(the borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the ‘East’, ‘Hudson’, and ‘Harlem’ Rivers, and also includes several small adjacent islands and “Marble Hill”, a small neighborhood on the U.S. mainland)
(“Manhattan” is often described as the cultural and financial capital of the world and hosts the “United Nations Headquarters”)
(anchored by “Wall Street” in the “Financial District” of “Lower Manhattan”, “New York City” has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and “Manhattan” is home to the world’s two largest stock exchanges by “total market capitalization”: the “New York Stock Exchange” and “NASDAQ”)
(many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough)
(it is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626, for “60 guilders” or about $24 in 1626 and US $1051 today)
(manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of “Manhattan Island”, including real estate, estimated to exceed US $3 trillion in 2013; residential property sale prices in “Manhattan” typically exceeded US $1,400 per square foot ($15,000/m2) as of 2016)
(“New York County” is the United States’ second-smallest county by land area (larger only than “Kalawao County”, “Hawaii”), and is also the most densely populated U.S. county)
(it is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2015 population of 1,644,518 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 72,033 residents per square mile (27,812/km2), higher than the density of any individual American city)
(on business days, the influx of commuters increases that number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2))
(“Manhattan” has the third-largest population of New York City’s five boroughs, after “Brooklyn” and “Queens”, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area)
(many districts and landmarks in “Manhattan” have become well known, as “New York City” received a record of nearly 60 million tourists in 2015, and “Manhattan” hosts three of the world’s 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: “Times Square”, “Central Park”, and “Grand Central Terminal”)
(the borough hosts many world-renowned bridges, such as the “Brooklyn Bridge”; skyscrapers such as the “Empire State Building”, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world; and parks, such as “Central Park”)
(there are many historically significant places in “Manhattan”: “Chinatown” incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the “Western Hemisphere”, and the “Stonewall Inn” in “Greenwich Village” is considered the birthplace of the modern “gay rights movement”)
(the “City of New York” was founded at the southern tip of “Manhattan”, and the borough houses “New York City Hall”, the seat of the City’s “government”)
.
(numerous ‘colleges’ + ‘universities’ are located in “manhattan”, including…)
“columbia university”
“new york university”
“weill cornell medical college”
“rockefeller university”
.
(…which have been ranked among the ‘top 35’ in the ‘world’)
