Epicenter of America's financial and cultural capital, Manhattan constitutes some of the world's most famous and precious real estate, apocryphally reputed to have been purchased from the original Indian settlers for a handful of beads. Originally the site of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, New York was handed over to the English in 1664. Thirteen miles long but just over two miles wide, Manhattan's structure has shaped America's idea of urban life like no other, giving us the terms "uptown" and "downtown," and pioneering the city model of a central commercial core surrounded by melting-pot satellite communities, all connected by a comprehensive public transport network. Manhattan is both rife with history and constantly reinventing itself, and is home to such world-famous landmarks as Central Park, the Empire State Building, the UN Headquarters, and Ground Zero, site of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
