Manhattan: The Island Core of New York City
Manhattan is coterminous with New York County and occupies a narrow island bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers. Roughly 13 miles long and 2.3 miles at its widest, it holds nearly 1.6 million residents in 22.7 square miles, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the country. Its grid of numbered streets and avenues was laid out under the Commissioners' Plan of 1811.
The Financial District at the southern tip contains Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Midtown runs roughly from 34th to 59th Streets and holds the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, and the United Nations headquarters along the East River at First Avenue.
Central Park covers 843 acres between 59th and 110th Streets, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux beginning in 1858. Other defining Manhattan institutions include the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue, the American Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side, Lincoln Center, Times Square, and Columbia University in Morningside Heights. Harlem, north of Central Park, was the center of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s.
