MANHATTAN 1609 vs. 2019: Natural Wonder to Urban Jungle
Before it was an urban jungle, Manhattan was home to the Lenape Indians, who called the island
Mannahatta, or "land of many hills."
Built up and thanks to land reclamation out, downtown Manhattan, circa 2008, towers over the New
York City island as it was more than 400 years ago, when Europeans first set eyes on it complete
with campfires.
