Manahatta
Manahatta is the Native American Lenape name for the island that became Manhattan.
Broadway was the old trail from the trading post where the National Museum of the American Indian is now, to the Lenape village in Inwood, and on up the Hudson River to what is now Albany. Bowery/Third Avenue was the trail up the East River, to Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic coast.
Manhattan’s First Immigrant Was Dominican
The first immigrant was Juan Rodriguez from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in 1613.
