In the 19th century, New York City was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.
However, it was still a very young city, and as such, the city’s leaders were able to take a step back and plan what exactly they wanted to future of the city to be.
What they decided was that the city needed a park. Not just any park, but a great park that took up an enormous part of Manhattan Island.
