Planning notes for New York
New York City, located at the mouth of the Hudson River, was established as a Dutch trading post named New Amsterdam in 1624. Control transferred to the English in 1664, at which time the settlement was renamed New York. The city served as the first capital of the United States under the Constitution from 1789 to 1790. The architectural landscape includes 19th-century brownstone rowhouses, Gilded Age mansions, and a high concentration of Art Deco skyscrapers.
