There are three main theories as to how the Big Apple got its name: 1) In the 1910s and 1920s, the purse (prizes) for horse races used to be called an 'apple'. New York, as the home of some of the largest racetracks, became known as the 'big apple'. 2) Jazz musicians had nicknames for all the big cities where jazz and blues clubs could be found. New Orleans was the Big Easy, for instance, and New York was the Big Apple. 3) In the 1970s, during New York City's big financial crisis, marketers were looking for a way to promote tourism and bring in some much-needed income. They revived the term, using it in their advertising ever since.
