Planning notes for New York
The Financial District, located at the southern tip of Manhattan, serves as the site where the Dutch West India Company established the settlement of New Amsterdam in 1624. The area contains several landmarks dating to the colonial and revolutionary periods, including Fraunces Tavern (1719), which functioned as a headquarters for George Washington, and St. Paul’s Chapel (1766), the oldest surviving public building in continuous use in Manhattan. The street layout follows the 1660 Castello Plan.
