In 1626,Manhattan Island was purchased（购买）from the Indians by Peter Minuit.It cost about$2,400.At first,it was called New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers.Later it was renamed New York by the English.
The city grew rapidly.There were several reasons for this,but the most important one is its location.New York is situated on the best American harbor on the Atlantic Ocean.It also lies on the Hudson River,which allows water transportation into the middle of the United States.
Today New York has a population of approximately eight million.The city has groups from many races.It is famous for its Chinatown.It also has the largest Jewish population of any city outside Israel.After the blacks were released from slavery,a large number of them moved into cities like New York,Philadelphia,and Washington.More recently,people from Puerto Rico have done the same thing.
New York is made up of five boroughs（行政区）.The Bronx is the only one located on the mainland,with Brooklyn,Richmond,and Queens being on islands.It is a large manufacturing center because factories can be located near good water transportation.Two of the main businesses are the clothing industry and the printing industry.Most large publishing companies have their headquarters there.
