History

View in Wall Street from corner of Broad Street, 1867. The building on the left was the U.S. Customs House at the time but is today the Federal Hall National Memorial. The United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP known as U Federal Hall, located at 26 Wall Street in New York City, was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington

The name of the street derives from the fact that during the 17th century, Wall Street formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement. A street name or odonym is an identifying name given to a Street. In the 1640s basic picket and plank fences denoted plots and residences in the colony. ^[3] Later, on behalf of the Dutch West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant, in part using African slaves,^[4] led the Dutch in the construction of a stronger stockade. Dutch West India Company ( Dutch: Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie or GWC; English: Chartered West India Company was a company of Peter Stuyvesant (originally Pieter or Petrus, Peter is never mentioned in historical records (c The Netherlands ( Dutch:, ˈnedərlɑnt is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands the Netherlands A strengthened 12-foot (4 m) wall ^[5] of timber and earth was created by 1653 fortified by palisades. palisade is a steel or wooden Fence or wall of variable height usually used as a defensive structure ^{[5] [3]} The wall was created, and strengthened over time, as a defense against attack from various Native American tribes, New England colonists, and the British.

And while the original name referred to the Walloons, the French speaking Belgians that helped populate this settlement in the beginning, the name was now easily taken to refer to the wall that once was here.

In the late 18th century, there was a buttonwood tree at the foot of Wall Street under which traders and speculators would gather to trade informally. In Finance, a trader is someone who buys and sells Financial instruments such as stocks, bonds and derivatives. Speculation, in a financial context is making an investment that increases the overall risk in a portfolio In 1792, the traders formalized their association with the Buttonwood Agreement. The Buttonwood Agreement, which took place on May 17, 1792, started the New York Stock & Exchange Board (now called the NYSE which is short for New York Stock This was the origin of the New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE) is a Stock exchange based in New York City. ^[6]

A solemn crowd gathers outside the NYSE after the crash. The New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE) is a Stock exchange based in New York City.

1929 brought the "Great Crash" of the stock market, ushering in the Great Depression. The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the ’29 Crash, the Crash of 1929, the Great Crash of 1929, the Great Crash of October 1929 During this era, new development of the Financial District had stagnated. The construction of the World Trade Center was one of the few major projects undertaken during the last three quarters of the 20th century and, financially, it was not originally, as successful as planned. The World Trade Center in New York City, United States (sometimes informally the WTC or Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan Some point to the fact that it was actually a government-funded project, constructed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey with the intention of spurring economic development in downtown. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ( PANYNJ) is a bi-state Port district, established in 1921 (as the Port of New York Authority) through New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous New Jersey ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States. All the tools necessary to international trade were to be housed in the complex. However, at the beginning much of the space remained vacant.

Nonetheless, some large and powerful firms did purchase space in the World Trade Center. Further, it attracted other powerful businesses to the immediate neighborhood. In some ways, it could be argued that the World Trade Center changed the nexus of the Financial District from Wall Street to the Trade Center complex. When the World Trade Center was destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks, it left somewhat of an architectural void as new developments since the 1970s had played off the complex aesthetically. The attacks, however, contributed to the loss of business on Wall Street, due to temporary-to-permanent relocation to New Jersey and further decentralization with establishments transferred to cities like Chicago and Boston.

Wall Street itself and the Financial District as a whole are crowded with highrises by any standard of measure. Further, the loss of the World Trade Center has actually spurred development in the Financial District on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades. This is in part due to tax incentives provided by the federal, state and local governments to encourage development. A new World Trade Center complex, centered on Daniel Liebeskind's Memory Foundations plan, is in the early stages of development and one building has already been replaced. Daniel Libeskind, (born May 12 1946 in Łódź, Poland) is an American Architect, Artist, and Set designer of Memory Foundations is the name given by Daniel Libeskind to his site plan for the World Trade Center which was selected by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation The centerpiece to this plan is the 1,776-foot (541 m) tall Freedom Tower. 1 World Trade Center, or the Freedom Tower, is the main building of the new World Trade Center complex currently under construction in Lower Manhattan in New residential buildings are already sprouting up, and buildings that were previously office space are being converted to residential units, also benefiting from the tax incentives. Better access to the Financial District is planned in the form of a new commuter rail station and a new downtown transportation center centered on Fulton Street. Fulton Street is a busy street located in Lower Manhattan. It is in New York City 's Financial District, a few blocks north of Wall Street.

To say that a corporation is a "Wall Street company" today does not necessarily mean that the company is physically located on Wall Street. A corporation is a separate legal entity usually used to conduct business It more likely means that the firm deals with financial services; such a firm could be headquartered in many places across the globe. Financial services refer to services provided by the finance industry. Today, much of Wall Street's workforce tends to be made up of professionals working in the fields of law or finance who work for medium- to large-sized corporations. Many of the nearby businesses are local companies and chain stores that cater to the tastes of professionals and to the needs of the workforce. Most people who work in the Financial District commute from suburbs in Long Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the lower Hudson Valley.

Wall Street's culture is often criticized as being rigid.

Wall Street's establishment resists government oversight and regulation. At the same time, New York City has a reputation as a very bureaucratic city, which makes entry into the neighborhood difficult or even impossible for middle class entrepreneurs.

Perceptions

The older skyscrapers often were built with elaborate facades; such elaborate aesthetics haven't been common in corporate architecture for decades. The World Trade Center, built in the 1970s, was very plain and utilitarian in comparison (the Twin Towers were often criticized as looking like two big boxes, despite their impressive height). The World Trade Center in New York City, United States (sometimes informally the WTC or Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan The World Trade Center in New York City, United States (sometimes informally the WTC or Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan

Wall Street, more than anything, represents financial and economic power. To Americans, Wall Street can sometimes represent elitism and power politics and cut-throat capitalism, but it also stirs feelings of pride about the market economy. Wall Street became the symbol of a country and economic system that many Americans see as having developed not through colonialism and plunder, but through trade, capitalism, and innovation. (Fraser 2005)
