In the 1640's the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12 foot wall. 1664 the British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. It's now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street, which is now called Wall Street. submitted by /u/Battlefleet_Sol to r/Damnthatsinteresting
