Bowling Green Association is celebrating its 276th anniversary of Bowling Green Park, New York City'soldest park. According to tradition, Bowling Green served as the council ground for Native American tribes and is reputed to be the site of the legendary sale of Manhattan to Peter Minuit in 1626. The Dutch called the area "the Plain" and used it for several purposes. It was the beginning of Heere Staat (High Street, now Broadway)—a trade route that extended north through Manhattan and the Bronx. It was also the site of a parade ground, meeting place and cattle market. In 1686 the site became public property when the City Charter put all "waste, vacant, unpatented and unappropriated lands" under municipal domain. Bowling Green was first designated as a park on March 12, 1733, when it was offered for rent at the cost of one peppercorn per year. Since December 1989, the statue of Charging Bull has been on display at the north end of the park. It is said to represent the "the strength, power and hope of the American people for the future." Our guest this week is the early founder of the Bowling Green Association, Arthur Piccolo.
