The borough is coterminous with New York County, founded on November 1, 1683 as an original county of the U.S. state of New York. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the East, Hudson, and Harlem Rivers, and also includes several small adjacent islands and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood on the mainland. Manhattan is often said to be the economic and cultural center of the United States〔 "A roaring void has been created in the financial center of the world."〕〔 "In 1980 there were still the vestigial remains of the various downtown revolutions that had reinvigorated New York's music and art scenes and kept Manhattan in the position it had occupied since the 1940s as the cultural center of the world."〕〔 "As the Archbishop of the media and cultural center of the United States, Cardinal O'Connor has extraordinary power among Catholic prelates."〕 and hosts the United Nations Headquarters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Nations Visitors Centre "Welcome to the United Nations — Tour the international UN Headquarters" )〕 Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=PAL sets introductory fares to New York )〕 and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYSE Listings Directory )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2013 WFE Market Highlights )〕 Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough. Historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626, for the equivalent of US$, Manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of Manhattan Island, including real estate, estimated to exceed US$3 trillion in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manhattan, New York – Some of the Most Expensive Real Estate in the World Overlooks Central Park )〕 New York County is the most densely populated county in the United States and is more dense than any individual American city. It is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2014 population of 1,636,268〔 living in a land area of ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USA Counties Land Area – New York, NY (2010) )〕 or 71,672 residents per square mile (27,673/km2). On business days, the influx of commuters increases that number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=NYBits.com )〕 Many districts and landmarks in Manhattan have become well known, as New York City receives millions of tourists (a record 56 million in 2014), and Manhattan hosts three of the world's 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. Times Square, iconified as the world's "heart" and its "Crossroads",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Times Square - The Official Site of Times Square )〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Times Square New York, NY Times Square ) 〕〔 〕〔 〕 and as "The Center of the Universe", is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Times Square )〕 one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections,〔 〕〔 〕 and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New York Architecture Images- Midtown Times Square )〕 The borough hosts many world-renowned bridges, skyscrapers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Buildings in New York City )〕 and parks. Manhattan's Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Chinatown New York City Fact Sheet ) 〕〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Chinatown )〕 The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Workforce Diversity The Stonewall Inn, National Historic Landmark National Register Number: 99000562 )〕 The city of New York was founded at the southern tip of Manhattan,〔 and the borough houses New York City Hall, the seat of city government and a National Historic Landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Numerous colleges and universities are located in Manhattan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC Colleges and Universities )〕 including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top 35 in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Ranking of World Universities 2015 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CWUR 2015 - World University Rankings )〕 ==Etymology== The name "''Manhattan"'' derives from the word ''Manna-hata'', as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht ''Halve Maen'' (''Half Moon''). A 1610 map depicts the name as Manna-hata, twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language.〔 "He could envision what Henry Hudson saw in 1609 as he sailed along Mannahatta, which in the Lenape dialect most likely meant ''island of many hills.''"〕 The United States Postal Service prefers that mail addressed to Manhattan use "New York, NY" rather than "Manhattan, NY". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manhattan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
