About New York

New York, also known as the Big Apple or The City That Never Sleeps, consists of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. It was originally a commercial trading post founded by the Dutch, and was known as New Amsterdam until 1664 when it came under English control. Today it is home to over 8 million Americans, and to two of the most recognisable landmarks in the world: the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.
