Wall Street Charging Bull Figurine 1

Charging Bull of Wall Street is one of the iconic figures of New York City.

Wall Street was originally known in Dutch as "de Waalstraat" when it was part of New Amsterdam in the 17th century.

An actual wall existed on the street from 1685 to 1699. During the 17th century, Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site, as well as the location of Federal Hall, New York's first city hall.

In the early 19th century, both residences and businesses occupied the area, but increasingly business predominated, and New York City's financial industry became centered on Wall Street.

In the 20th century, several early skyscrapers were built on Wall Street, including 40 Wall Street, once the world's tallest building.

So here comes the Charging Bull of Wall Street...
