Fun Facts and History of Lower East Side

Occupied by the Lenape people before Dutch colonization, the Lower East Side was perfect for farming and agriculture due to its proximity to the river. Over time, however, the area was made into a residential neighborhood to support the growing population of the city and for the strategic location of Corlears Hook, a notable site that sailors used for navigation.

Starting after the American Revolution, the area became very popular with immigrants of German descent. The new micro-neighborhood of “Little Germany” was established but, as things tend to happen in NYC, they were soon sharing the area with large Italian Jewish populations.

In the early 1900’s the Lower East Side became recognized as one of New York’s first racially integrated neighborhoods due to its large European, Black, and Puerto Rican populations. Financial crises and negligence left the area in bad shape, leading to a sort of counter culture similar to the East Village.

By the 1980’s Chinatown, whose population has been slowly growing since the early 1900’s, exploded, overtaking much of Little Italy. The area also became popular with students and young professionals looking for cheap rent. Today the area is very diverse and popular.
