The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Its outer borders include Central Park to the west, the East River to the east, 96th Street to the north, and 59th Street to the south.
Today, the Upper East Side is known as one of NYC’s most affluent neighborhoods, but its beginnings were much more humble. Native Americans used the area for fishing along the East River Bluffs. As Europeans descended to the area, they settled lands in the Upper East Side for farmlands and market gardens.
The extension of the New York and Harlem Railroad led to a burst of activity in the area. Immigrants pushed outside downtown New York City to areas like the Upper East Side. By 1880, the Upper East Side had become a middle-class neighborhood with many residents working in nearby breweries, piano factories, and stables. The area became a prime location for development.
In the 1900s, there was another development boom, and the more modest homes were replaced with mansions and townhouses. Real estate along Park Avenue became sought after once the trains nearby were covered and electrified. Developers and wealthy individuals transformed the area so that it became home to some of the country’s most opulent properties. Eventually, large apartment complexes were erected in the area.
Today, it is a historic district and a visual representation of urban residential architecture.
