The name of the street derives from the fact that during the 17th Century, it formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement where the Dutch had constructed a crude wall of timer and earthwork. The wall was obstensibly meant as a defense against attack from Lenape Indians, New England colonists, and the British, but it was never tested in battle. The wall was dismantled by the British in 1699.

Wall Street gets it’s name from the wall around the original Dutch settlement on Manhattan Island. More legacies from the Dutch are Brooklyn = Breukelen, Harlem = Haarlem, Bowery = bouwerij, Flushing = Vlissingen and Staten Island = Staten land.
