New York, then the nation's second largest city, was briefly the capital of the new United States of America, in 1789 and 1790, and George Washington was inaugurated as President in New York on the steps of Federal Hall.
The modern city of New York — the five boroughs — was created in 1898, as the merger of the cities of New York (then Manhattan and the Bronx) and Brooklyn with the largely rural areas of Queens and Staten Island.
The New York Islanders reside in the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum of Uniondale, New York.
