How Wall Street Started

History of Early Stock Market Trade: "It was Hamilton who encouraged the trading of government debt securities on the corner of Wall Street and Broad Street in New York, then the nation's capital. The trading expanded to include stocks and the street corner got quite crowded. In 1817, traders in New York organized the New York Stock & Exchange Board (which later became the New York Stock Exchange) and moved off the street into a building at 40 Wall Street."
