Brooklyn in the house.  I also miss all that good food in the big NYC.  I just came from there last weekend and girls you ain't missing nothing but the food.  You still see the same people standing in the same corner as always.  Garbage all over the place and the smell ugghhhhh.  But hey there's no better place to have a good time then NYC!!!!!! I was raised in the Williamburgh section of Brooklyn; I am now living in NC for the past 5 years.  I also go to NYC 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR. ]

Tal vez muchos no conocen la historia de NEW YORK, pues aqui les dejo esto para que conoscan un poco mas de esa ciudad que nos quita el sueño a muchos/as.

HISTORIA DE NEW YORK

Los indigenas que vivian en el actual estado de Nueva York se dividian en dos grupos principales:

Los algonquinos del valle del Hudson y de Long Island, y los Iroqueses del area occidental, que crearon una confederacion a modo de una entidad militar y politica altamente organizada, compuesta originalmente por las tribus de los mohawk, oneida, onodaga, cayuga y seneca; los tuscaroras fueron admitidos a principios del siglo XVIII.

El explorador italiano Giovanni da Verrazano entro en al bahia de Neva York en 1524, pero la colonizacion europea no comenzo hasta despues de que el navegante ingles Henry Hudson reclamara el area para los paises bajos, en 1609. La compañia Holandesa de las Indias occidentales establecio asentamientos en Fort Orange (cerca de la actual Albany) en 1624, y en New Amsterdam, en el extremo meridional de la isla de Manhattan. La colonia de los paises bajos fue gobernada por Peter Stuyvesant desde 1647 hasta 1664, cuando los ingleses se apoderaron de ella y la denominaron New York en honor a su propietario, Jacobo duque de York, hermano del rey Carlos II. Cuando Jacobo se convirtio en rey como Jacobo II formo el dominio de corta duracion de nueva Inglaterra, con la union de Nueva Inglaterra, New York y Nueva Jersey.

1686: Despues de varios enfrentamientos de los ingleses con los franceses y los nativos americanos, el acuerdo de paz de 1763 puso fin a la presencia francesa y establecio la formacion de grupos indigenas en el valle del Mohawk y en las regiones de los grandes lagos.

En 1765, representantes de nueve colonias norteamericanas protestaron contra los nuevos impuestos exigidos por el parlamento britanico. Cuando Massachusetts inicio la rebelion en 1775, New York envio una fuerza de voluntarios para apoyar a los rebeldes.

En 1776, una nueva convencion aprobo la declaracion de la independecia estadounidense y la antigua provincia real se convirtio en el estado de Nueva York. No obstante los britanicos ocuparon la ciudad de Nueva York, Long Island y el condado de Westchester; la ciudad sirvio como cuartel general del ejercito britanico desde entonces hasta el final de la guerra. La redencion del general britanico John Burgoyne en la batalla de Saratoga (1777) favorecio que Francia entrara en la guerra del lado de los norteamericanos.

Bajo el nuevo gobierno, la ciudad de Nueva York fue proclamada capital de Estados Unidos (1789) por el presidente George Washington.
