Five Points, Manhattan
Five Points (or The Five Points) was a neighborhood in lower Manhattan, New York City, New York. The neighborhood was generally defined as being bound by Centre Street in the west, the Bowery in the east, Canal Street in the north and Park Row in the south. The former Five Points is now split between the Civic Center on the west and south and Chinatown on the east and north.
Five Points gained international notoriety as a disease-ridden, crime-infested slum that existed for well over 70 years.
==Name==
"''Five Points''" was derived from the five-pointed intersection created by Orange Street (now Baxter Street) and Cross Street (now Mosco Street); from this intersection Anthony Street (now Worth Street) began and ran in a northwest direction, dividing one of the four corners into two triangular-shaped blocks; thus the fifth "point". To the west of this "point" ran Little Water Street (which no longer exists) north to south, creating a triangular plot which would become known as Paradise Square after the buildings standing in the triangle were torn down in 1832.
