City Directory

 The New-York Historical Society publishes a New York City Directory that lists all the places of interest in Manhattan and the surrounding towns and villages in Manhattan and nearby townships. The Directory includes the address, name and description of the building, a map showing its location, the street name and the name of the town or village. It is a very important reference book in Manhattan. These books were also published prior to the 1800's.

The New-York City Directory, first published in 1786, is the oldest publication for New York City and the second published in the US. It contained 846 names in it, including a brief description of each person.

For those who have a passion for history, it is a wonderful source of information as it provides information on New York landmarks, places of worship and other important historical sites. The directory also provides information about people, business and cultural activities of various places in Manhattan and in the surrounding area. People and businesses listed on this directory are usually from the last several hundred years. They are often owners or officers of buildings, museums and other historical landmarks.

As an additional feature in the New-York City Directory, the New York Historical Society lists the owners and officers of private residences and public buildings that they own and occupy. This can be a very interesting and educational feature, particularly for a visitor who is visiting New York City.

Another valuable feature in this directory is that it provides information on the ancestry of the people living in New York City. This can be very useful information to someone interested in genealogy.

The New York Historical Society has a web site which gives a listing of all the pages of this directory. The listing also includes the map and address of each person and building in New York City. This can be a great resource for someone looking for information on a particular place. There is a link to the city directory in the resource box.

The New York Historical Society website contains a page called "History in a Nutshell" which contains descriptions of people, buildings, places and events, and places of interest in New York City. It includes the New York City Directory. The directory lists the names and addresses of important places in New York. The page also includes the page number of the directory and links to the online version.

For example, the page titled "Hoover Van" contains the address and information about Hoover Van Lines. The link to the page goes to the online version of the New York City Directory.

The New York City Directory is published in four volumes, which are the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. The New York State Directory contains listings of New York hotels and motels, but not the city directory.

The New York City Directory was created by the New York State Historical Society. New York City is one of the largest cities in the world. The directory is used by the public and by people who want to know information about places and individuals in New York.

The New York City Directory is available at the above link. It has a page entitled "Bookstore." The book store is a section which provides information about books and publications containing listings of important New York City locations, including street addresses and information about local restaurants, hotels and lodgings.

These are only a few of the online resources which provide access to the New York City Directory. There are many other web sites available which provide more information.
