What is a Knickerbocker's?
At the beginning of the 17th century, New York City was a small Dutch community located at the south end of Manhattan Island. History tells us that the people of New Amsterdam were canny traders and wore funny pants. A knickerbocker is a descendant of these original Dutch settlers. The term can also refer to anyone who lives in the city, hence the New York Knicks. But where does the name come from? Apparently from the one and only Diedrich Knickerbocker, the fictitious author of Washington Irving's 1809 novel Knickerbocker's History of New York. He's also mentioned in the original title of Irving's most famous work, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Found Among the Papers of the Late Diedrich Knickerbocker. Diedrich was a product of his age: a descendant of immigrants, a wide-eyed opportunist, and a fiercely proud American. Using Diedrich Knickerbocker as a guiding light, Washington Irving went on to found the Knickerbocker School, a group of writers who were intent on distancing themselves from European traditions. Did we mention the funny pants? Knickerbockers can also refer to baggy pants that end just after the knees. Very useful for stomping about in New York City puddles.
