Нью-Ёрк размешчаны ў вусце ракі Гудзон. У параўнанні з такімі старажытнымі гістарычнымі гарадамі, як, скажам, Рым, Лондан, Масква ці Парыж, Нью- Ёрк даволі малады горад. Ён быў заснаваны ў 1613 г. дацкімі пасяленцамі.
У горадзе пяць раёнаў: Маыхэттэн, Бронкс, Куінсі, Бруклін і Рычманд. Мангэтан — гэта цэнтральная і самая старая частка горада. Гэта дзелавы і фінансавы раён. Менавіта тут, на Уол-стрыт, размешчана мноства дзелавых офісаў, банкаў і вядомая ва ўсім свеце Нью- Йоркская біржа. Біржа Нью-Ёрка кіруе дзелавой жыццём многіх краін.

Статуя Свабоды, якая знаходзіцца на востраве Свабоды, была падарункам Францыі ў 1876 г. з нагоды стагоддзя незалежнасці Амерыкі. Гэтая статуя і некалькі цэркваў XVIII і XIX стагоддзяў, бальніцы, рэдакцыі газет і іншыя будынкі з’яўляюцца ўзорамі «старой» архітэктуры ў Нью-Ёрку. Куды ні кінеш позірк, усюды можна ўбачыць хмарачосы. Нью-Ёрк, адзін з вядучых прамысловых гарадоў ЗША, — гэта месцазнаходжанне вялікіх фірмаў і банкаў. Найбольш важнымі з’яўляюцца галіны прамысловасці, якія вырабляюць аўтамабілі, шкло, хімікаты і ўсе віды машын. У горадзе вельмі ажыўлены рух. Яго вуліцы і аўтастрады перапоўненыя аўтамабілямі і аўтобусамі.
Вусце ракі Гудзон з’яўляецца добрай прыстанню для шматлікіх пасажырскіх і грузавых караблёў з усяго свету.
