East Village History
The East Village is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, located east of Greenwich Village and south of the Upper East Side. It has a rich history that spans several centuries and has undergone significant transformations over time.
The area that is now the East Village was originally inhabited by the Lenape people, a Native American tribe. In the 17th century, Dutch settlers began to establish farms in the area, and by the mid-19th century, it had become a working-class neighborhood with a large population of German and Irish immigrants.
