Tammy Hall, often referred to as "Tammany Hall," was a political organization in New York City that became synonymous with political corruption and machine politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1789, it played a significant role in the Democratic Party's control over the city, particularly under leaders like Boss Tweed. Tammany Hall was known for its patronage system, where votes were exchanged for jobs and social services. Its influence declined by the mid-20th century due to reform movements and changing political dynamics.
