The origin of Wall Street in the United States is that the Dutch built a wooden wall, which was later demolished and became Wall Street.

New york was originally a Dutch colony, where Dutch immigrants lived. At that time, it was called New Amsterdam.

In 1640, a small piece of land in the new Amsterdam colony was separated by pointed stakes and fences. Then, in order to effectively control the slaves from Africa, Peter Stuyvesant, the representative of the Dutch West India Company, led the immigrant group from the Netherlands to build a stronger fence. In 1653, the fence was strengthened into a clay wooden wall about 3.65 meters (12 feet) high.

Since then, in order to resist Indian tribes, New England colonists and the British, the wooden wall has been gradually expanded and strengthened. In 1664, New Amsterdam was captured by the British, and the city was transferred from the Dutch to the British. In 1685, the surveyor traced a road along the original fence, that is, Wall Street.

In 1699, the British demolished this wall. The name of Wall Street was thus preserved.

The Cultural Influence of Wall Street

1. Essence

Compared with commercial streets, Wall Street usually refers to companies whose commercial influence is greater than that of small and medium-sized enterprises and the middle class, and sometimes it is especially used to represent analysts, shareholders, and financial institutions such as investment banks. Wall Street is generally regarded as a synonym for "American enterprises" that are private and value their own interests. Sometimes Wall Street is used to distinguish the differences between investment banks and Fortune 500 companies and small businesses in influence, culture and lifestyle.

2. Views

Wall Street represents financial and economic power more than anything else. For Americans, sometimes Wall Street is equated with elitism, power politics and cut-throat capitalism, but at the same time, Wall Street also arouses Americans' pride in the market economy. In the eyes of Americans, Wall Street is a symbol of a country and economic system that grew up on trade, capitalism and innovation, rather than colonialism and plunder.

3. Literature

Herman melville's short story "Bartleby the Clerk" is subtitled "A Wall Street Story", which gives an excellent description of a kind and rich lawyer.

Jason Compson in william faulkner's novel The Sound and Anger blames the Jews for the poor performance of his stock, which highlights the public's view of Wall Street.
