Wall Street's origins date back to the late 17th century, specifically around 1624 when the Dutch established a trading post in Manhattan. The name "Wall Street" comes from a wooden wall built by the Dutch in 1653 to protect against British and Native American attacks. The street became a financial hub in the 1790s, particularly after the establishment of the New York Stock & Exchange Board in 1817, which laid the groundwork for modern trading.
