New York harbor made an ideal port because it's well protected from wind and the elements. The Dutch colonized the area in the 1600s and the city was run like a company, and ever since, New York has always looked out for its own financial best interests, and hence New York has become the financial capital of the country.

Also, when the subway opened in 1904, it made the city much easier to get around, so land in outlaying areas developed very quickly along the subway lands.

And more recently, now that New York is the safest big city in the country, all kinds of businesses are building their headquarters here again.

It all started in the 18th Century when merchants discovered that the New York Harbor on the Hudson River was ideal for docking. The Hudson River along Manhattan allowed big boats to dock without them getting stuck in the mud. That's why NYC because an important trade center, and the rest is history.

The geography made it a logical place for a port in the early days of the American colonies. It's been a populous trade center ever since.
