[WATCH] Wall Street's Fascinating Origin Story | How it Became Manhattan

I'm standing on Wall Street with the New York Stock Exchange behind me. If you come stand where I am, you will be surrounded by some of the newer tallest buildings in the entire city, but I'm also surrounded by some of the oldest buildings in the city. New York began to grow into what it is today. In this lesson I want to show you how it went from an indigenous people's forest, to a Dutch colony, to the U.S Capitol, and eventually to the financial center that it is today, and I also want to show you how you can go see remnants of what once was.
