Bridge Street (Manhattan)

Bridge Street (Manhattan)

Bridge Street is a street located in the lower part of the New York City Borough of Manhattan and runs between State Street and Broad Street, and is split in two by Whitehall Street.

In the 17th century city of New Amsterdam, the Dutch created two canals, one at present day Broad Street (then called "Princegracht" or Prince Canal) and one at present day Beaver Street (then called "Heeregracht" or Gentleman's Canal). There were three bridges crossing the "Prince Canal" and one of them was at the end of Bridge Street ( _nl. Brugstraat). So this bridge gave it its name.
