The name Wall Street evolved from the earliest history of North America. Back then, a wall stood as a protective boundary between the wealth of the Dutch Settlement of New Amsterdam and the Native Americans. It's a difficult challenge to find traces of that original wall from a time 400 years ago, especially in such a modern city as New York. But the wall of Wall Street perfectly parallels the history of New York City from its earliest beginnings as the world's financial capital.
At one end of Wall Street sits Trinity Church. Behind the church is a cemetery. A young man named Alexander Hamilton, whose ideas were fundamental in making Wall Street into what it is today, chose this cemetery as his final resting place. Hamilton & Jefferson would debate how a young bankrupt country might best recover from the expense of the Revolutionary War. It would be a complex task to navigate a financial recovery between Wall Street and the US Treasury.
In the 19th century, America was divided by the Appalachian Mountains allowing the East and West to develop independent of each other, NY Governor DeWitt Clinton proposed building the Erie Canal helping to connect the country while also fueling its growth.
