Wall Street is a famous street in New York City. It got its name from the wooden wall that used to stand where the street now runs. The wall was built in the 1600s. New York was then a Dutch city set up by people coming from Holland in Europe: it was called Amsterdam. The American Indians were not always friends of the Dutch; nor were the English.
