Manhattan is the name of the island that New York City was originally on. It was named thus by the Dutch after the Indian tribe from whom they purchased it in 1626. They founded New Amsterdam there and the English changed the name to New York when they took possession in 1664. Over time the city has grown beyond the bounds of that island to include Staten Island, Cony Island and part of Long Island but Manhattan has always been the most populous and most famous part of the city.
