New York City began here as a Dutch settlement in the 1620s, and George Washington took the oath as the first president at Federal Hall on Wall Street, then the nation's first capitol. Battery Park City, developed under a state authority formed in 1968, sits on 1970s landfill made with soil and rock dug out for the World Trade Center, and over a third of its 92 acres is parkland. Trinity Church and One World Trade Center, opened in 2014, also stand here.
