2. Some of the rich history in New York is the discovery of the Hudson River which was discovered in1609. It was discovered by Henry Hudson who named this historic river after his last name.The next historic fact of New York was the brutal Battle of Saratoga on November 25, 1783. This battle was the turning point of revolution leading to the French alliance which helped them win this horrific battle. Next on April 30, 1789 New York was the first capital of the nation also George Washington our first president was inaugurated in New York. Another interesting fact is that in 1792 New York stock exchange was the center of world finance. One of the worlds most known landmark is in New York. It is the Statue of Liberty which was built in 1886. It had an inscription on it too and it said “give me your tired, your huddled musses yearning to breathe free.” It was also the first symbol of America. It seems history always finds its way to New York.
