Why is downtown Manhattan called Wall Street?
the reason downtown Manhattan is known as wall street is because when the settlement was originally built there was a dividing wall between the settlers and the native injuns Free-roaming hogs were notorious for rampaging through the precious grain fields of colonial New York city farmers. The Manhattan Island residents chose to limit the forays of these riotous hogs by erecting a long, permentant wall on the northern edge of what is now Lower Manhattan. A street came to border this wall- aptly enough named, Wall Street. The downtown area is not called Wall Street. Wall Street is the name of a street in Downtown Manhattan. There are many neighborhoods that make up Downtown Manhattan such as Chelsea, Soho, China Town, Little Italy and a few more which include the Finacial District where Wall Street is located. Now the street is aptly named Wall Street because it was once a wall, just like Water Street was once a stream and Bridge Street was once a bridge, and so forth. I hope I cleared up any confusion. When the Dutch settled in New York, they built a wall around their colony. This was done to keep intruders out. Eventually the wall was taken down, but pieces of it still remain. This is also the reason why the area around Wall St. is so oddly shaped compared to the rest of Manhattan, which is generally in a grid-like manner.
