It has skyscrapers andCentral Park, the old and the new, the best and the worst. It is like no other big city. It is unique.

　　To understand Manhattan, we must know something of its early history: its early days of Dutch colonists and English settlers; the waves of the nineteenth-century European immigrants who arrived at its shores; the African-Americans who moved north after the Civil War; recent immigrants from China and other parts of Asia; and young people who go to New York from all over America.
