What is Wall Street?   

Wall Street is not just a street in Downtown Manhattan. It's a symbol of the US's financial industry with a fascinating history stretching back over 200 years. It all started in the late 18th century under a buttonwood tree where traders would gather to trade informally. In 1792 these traders formalized their association and the New York Stock Exchange was born.
