Wall Street's origins date back to the late 17th century when Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (now New York City) established a market for trade. The street itself was named after a defensive wall built by the Dutch to protect against British and Native American attacks. By the early 19th century, Wall Street evolved into a financial hub with the establishment of the New York Stock & Exchange Board in 1817, facilitating the buying and selling of stocks and bonds. This laid the groundwork for the modern financial sector we recognize today.
