Founded in 1789, it played a significant role in the Democratic Party's control over the city, particularly under leaders like Boss Tweed.

Political machines like Tammany Hall exploited the needs of poor immigrants for political gain.

This symbiotic relationship illustrated how political entities could thrive by addressing the immediate needs of vulnerable populations.
