New York City is located in the southeastern part of New York State. It developed at the point where the Hudson and Passaic rivers mingle with the water of the Atlantic Ocean. New York Harbour, which is ice-free in all seasons, is one of the largest and finest in the world. With a population of more than 7 million in the city and 19 million in the whole metropolitan region, and the total area of 946 square km, New York is the largest city in the United States.
The city was founded by the Dutch in 1624. At first, it was called Fort Amsterdam, and then New Amsterdam. In 1664, the English took over the city and renamed it New York. New York is a very unusual city. Although it is not the capital of the country, it is the home of the United Nations and the centre of global finance, communications, and business. New Yorkers arc people who come from all over the United States and many different countries in the world. The city is characterised by its hundreds of tall otTices and apartment buildings, some of which arc among the tallest buildings in the world. Visitors to New York are all attracted by places such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Wall Street, and the Broadway theatre district. New York is also the place where tourists can visit some world famous art galleries and museums.
