1830s NYC: A Decade of Social, Political, & Geographical Upheaval Online
While New York is a city continually changing and evolving in almost every aspect, it's hard to top the upheaval of the 1830s. Between the worst fire in New York City history to absolute pandemonium surrounding Moving Day — when all NYC leases expired simultaneously — it was truly one of the city's wildest periods. It's time to uncover the stories and remnants of 1830s New York like never before. We’ll explore lower Manhattan and the notable sights and scandals of 1830s New York, with a close look at 1835 and how a single year forever changed New York City in big ways.
Presented via Zoom by James Scully — NYC tour guide and director / co-creator of the award-winning historical audio fiction soap opera, Burning Gotham.
