Manhattan

Manhattan has been the scene of many important American cultural movements. In 1912, about 20,000 workers, a quarter of them women, marched on Washington Square Park to commemorate the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which killed 146 workers on March 25, 1911.



Manhattan is in New York.
Manhattan is the oldest and the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City.
