Geography 010 - Map of New Amsterdam - 1640s

In the 1640s, the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12 foot wall to protect the city. In 1664, the British bypassed it and took the city by the sea. It is now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street now known as Wall Street.
