Maps of New York City - 20th Century
New York continued its progressive era in 20th century. It became the richest city and the financial center in the world, home of a huge number of corporate headquarters, the United Nations Headquarters, and unparalleled cultural center. In 1900, New York City's population was 3,4 million and grew to 8,0 million in 2000.
In the early 20th century, the City's magnetic environment continued to attract a growing and culturally diverse population, many industrial workers were women, working in the textile industry. The transit system grew exponentially and the first subway line opened in 1904, boosting the city's development north of Lower Manhattan.
