When New York was a village (Photo)

New York today is one of the most developed countries where towers are raised from the highest in the world.

However, very few people know that many years ago, this land has been merely agricultural land, where certain farms arose.

The New York City online collection museum reveals a series of photos showing what the city looked like back then.

The gallery contains illustrations and photographs of the New York City Hill, which were later destroyed to create what is today. /tch/
