How did the Dutch gain control of Manhattan Island?
"with their dicks"-great answer, this person shows a lot of potential.
The real reason is because at this time the Americas was just land taken over by native Americans and the Europeans came in and "stole" the land from them through the course of many wars.
What is the web address of the Marymount Manhattan College in New York New York?
The address of the Marymount Manhattan College is: 221 E 71St St, New York, NY 10021-4532
For two related reasons: 1) Before the five boroughs consolidated into one city in 1898, New York City was comprised of Manhattan only. Thus, before 1898, "New York City" and "Manhattan" were the same thing.
2) Even though New York City is now comprised of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island, Manhattan is still the main borough. For one thing, in state government, Manhattan is known as "New York County." Manhattan is the name of the island and of the borough, but "New York" is the name of the county.
As for the other four boroughs, Brooklyn is Kings County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and the other two have the same names (Queens County and The Bronx County).
Similarly, mail to Manhattan is addressed to "New York, NY," while mail to the other four boroughs is addressed to Brooklyn, NY, or The Bronx, NY, etc.
Furthermore, Manhattan is still the main borough, where Times Square, Central Park, Lincoln Center, Wall Street, City Hall, Harlem, Columbia and New York University, The Empire State Building, and the now-fallen Twin Towers are.
So, even though technically Manhattan is only one borough of New York City, it is still the main borough. So a lot of people use the terms "New York City" and "Manhattan" interchangeably, as if they were the same thing, when in fact technically they are not.
Also, the fact that Manhattan's name in state government is New York County only makes it easier for people to regard Manhattan as THE city, and the other four boroughs as mere suburbs of it.
What the distance between Westchester New York and Manhattan New York?
Here's the thing: you know how Manhattan is shaped a little bit like a hand that is pointing upwards? There's that long, skinny finger sticking up at the north end?
Westchester is north of Manhattan. The two are separated by the borough of the Bronx, and the skinny river that separates Manhattan from the Bronx, which is called the Harlem River. Actually, you can even take the subway to Westchester, kind of. You take the Uptown 2 or 5 trains to the last stop in the Bronx, which is Wakefield 241st Street on the 2 train, and Nereid Avenue on the 5 train. Then you keep walking north for a couple of miles, and you'll be in Westchester.
But if you travel straight north from Manhattan on the east side (the side that doesn't have the finger-shaped extension) the distance will be much longer than if you travel straight north from the tip of the finger, on the west side (the Inwood neighborhood).
So, from the east side of Manhattan, the distance between Manhattan and Westchester is about 6 miles. From the Inwood neighborhood on the west side, the distance is a little over 1 mile.
Actually, the distance between the west side of Manhattan and the Bronx can technically be called 0 miles. The neighborhood directly north of the Inwood neighborhood, (the stretch of land that separates the west tip of Manhattan from Westchester) is geographically part of the Bronx, but it is considered to be part of Manhattan, because it actually once was! It's called the Marble Hill neighborhood, and the history of how the whole neighborhood was physically moved from Manhattan to the Bronx is very interesting. See the Related Question below.
Since Marble Hill is still officially a part of Manhattan, it can be said that Westchester and Manhattan share a border with each other, on the west side.
See the Related Link below for a New York City subway map, which shows you all the five boroughs, as well as the southern tip of Westchester. The rivers, including the Harlem River, are also labeled.
