Three hundred years after its birth. the county of New York remains the financial. artistic. and cultural capital of the Nation. No small accomplishment. Manhattan has also served as the port of entry to countless immigrants. Coming to the United States from the nations of Europe and the rest of the world. for many Manhattan was the first portion of this Nation that they saw. Its architecture and grandeur was a symbol of the wealth and power of a growing nation. These immigrants. in turn. contributed to both the material and cultural wealth of Manhattan. On a few scarce miles would grow neighborhoods which reflected the variant cultures and peoples which combined to form the pastiche of this Nation. And New York served as a microcosm of the variety of the Nation.
