the CityStore<\/a>, the Official Store of the City of New York, and proceeds will benefit the city\u2019s general fund.<\/p>\nThe name of the borough itself is derived from the Munsee Lenape term Manah\u00e1htaan, which translates to a \u201cplace for gathering wood to make bows,\u201d and referenced a grove of hickory tress on the island\u2019s south end used for that purpose. The Munsee lived on the island 3,000 years ago, divided into 20 autonomous groups, with the Lenape Walking Trail becoming what is now known as Broadway. Manhattan was first mapped in 1609 as Manna-hatta, and became New Amsterdam in 1626.<\/p>\n
