Flatiron Building

The iconic Flatiron Building was built in 1902. It’s named for its shape which resembles an iron. It was one of the tallest buildings in New York City when it was built. People thought it would fall down because its unusual shape created strong wind gusts in the neighborhood.


Ladies Mile

Between the U.S. Civil War (1860-65) and World War I (1914-18), the “Ladies Mile,” cluster of elite retailers and department stores was along Sixth Avenue. The concept of “window shopping” played a role in architecture, women’s liberation and consumerism. As manufacturing capacity exceeded demand, New York retailers created seasonal fashions and displayed them in the big windows enabled by the new skyscraper method of construction. In that era, women were not allowed to be alone on the street. Window shopping changed that.


Silicon Alley

The “Silicon Alley” cluster of technology firms was based here. DoubleClick was the one that made it big. It became Google’s advertising tools.


Flatiron District Government

The government works for you. Make them work!

The neighborhood is governed by Manhattan Community District 5 and the Manhattan Borough President. It is NY City Council District 3. In the U.S. Congress it is NY District 12.
