Planning notes for New York
New York City, located at the mouth of the Hudson River, was established as the Dutch trading post of New Amsterdam in 1624 before coming under English control in 1664. The city’s historical heritage is preserved through landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, which served as the primary federal immigration station from 1892 to 1954. The architectural landscape of the city includes a variety of historical styles. The 18th-century English Georgian influence is visible in public buildings.
