In 6 2 6 other colonists arrived at Manhattan l an efi ected I s d with Peter Minuit , and in that year there had been its settle ment, the purchase of the island from the Indians, and consolidation of all n families i New Netherland at the southern end , which was called Fort Amsterdam . This settlement was never wholly disintegrated . It was never n aba doned . In these beginnings are rooted the origin of the City of New York . 192 6 n For several years prior to the year , there was great expecta cy n z among numerous orga i ations of men and women , historically minded, that the year 192 6 would produce a climax of celebrations in the city and under offi cial auspices worthy of the leading city of the western hemisphere . Work ing drawings for exhibitions and pageantry had been completed for use on fl n several oors of the Gra d Central Palace , where for a month or more it was designed to corral thousands of Visitors and focus attention upon the great - C . n birthday of the ity Not only did this feature of a celebratio die still born , but no other signifi cant observance of the city’s attainment in the historical fi rmamen t was carried out . The exhibition in the Main Exhibition Room of the Library was prepared o Or in in c d atio n with the expected celebrations . It turned out to be an event n by itself, as well as the only one from which the public could derive a understanding of the foundations of New York history . It was arranged in - five fl at forty showcases and on Sixteen sides of upright standards . The ex hibitio n z — was organi ed systematically .
