New York City (pronounced /nʲuːˈjɔɹk/)
(officially The City of New York) is the most
populous city in the United
States, with its metropolitan
area ranking among the largest
urban areas in the world. It has been the
largest city in the United States since 1790, and
was the country's first capital city and the site
of George
Washington's inauguration
as the first president of the United States. For
more than a century, it has been one of the
world's major centers of commerce
and finance.
New York City is rated as an alpha
world city for its global influences in media,
politics,
education,
entertainment,
arts
and fashion.
The city is also a major center for foreign
affairs, hosting the headquarters of the United
Nations.
New York City comprises five boroughs,
each of which is coextensive
with a county: The
Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan,
Queens
and Staten
Island. With over 8.2 million residents within
an area of 322 square miles (830 km²), New
York City is the most densely populated major city
in the United States.[3][4][5]
Many of the city's neighborhoods and landmarks
are known around the world. The Statue
of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants
as they came to America in the late 19th and early
20th centuries, at Ellis
Island, a small part of which lies within the
city. Wall
Street, in Lower
Manhattan, has been a dominant global
financial center since World
War II and is home to the New
York Stock Exchange. The city has been home to
several of the tallest
buildings in the world, including the Empire
State Building and the twin towers of the World
Trade Center, which were destroyed in the September
11, 2001 attacks.
New York is the birthplace of many cultural
movements, including the Harlem
Renaissance in literature and visual art, abstract
expressionism (also known as the New
York School) in painting, and hip
hop,[6]
punk,[7]
salsa,
and Tin
Pan Alley in music. In 2005, nearly 170
languages were spoken in the city and 36% of its
population was born outside the United States.[8][9]
With its 24-hour subway
and constant bustling of traffic and people, New
York is known as "The City That Never
Sleeps;" it was first linked with "Gotham"
by Washington
Irving in 1807.[10]
