The wall that gave Wall Street its name was originally built by Dutch settlers in the 17th century to protect the colony of New Amsterdam from British and Native American attacks. Constructed between 1653 and 1657, the wall was made of timber and earth and stood at what is now Wall Street. After the British took control of the area, the wall was dismantled in 1699, but the name "Wall Street" remained as a reference to its historical significance.
