Eirst Settlement :. manhat,--.

The first habitations of white men
on the island of Manhattan were erect
ed in 1913. The first structures in
the American metropolis were four
small houses, or, rather, huts, and they
were on the site now occupied by the
skyscraper at Al Broadway. A bronze
tablet on the building at that address
commentaries the beginning of New
York city.
The collection of novels gradually
grew into a town, which was almost
wiped out by fire in 1926. The first
fort was commenced in 1882, on site
now occupied by the customhouse,
the main gate of Fort Amsterdam, as
II was called, opening on Bowling
Green. where the first settlers played
their games. In 1858 a wooden wall
was constructed as a defense against
a threatened invasion of New England
ers. and the site of this wall afterward
became Wall street.
