        In September of 1653, the settlers in what is now New York City felt threatened by the local Natives and by the possibility of an invasion by Oliver Cromwell's army.  For protection, they built a large protective wall that stretched a half-mile across Manhattan Island.  That wall was situated on the exact location that we now know as the financial center of the world:  Wall Street.
