In 1686, the area now known as Bryant Park was designated public property by New York Colonial Governor Thomas Dongan. At the start of the Revolutionary War, General Washington’s troops raced across it, and in 1807 the grid system of streets was laid out in what is now considered Midtown, expanding north from the cosmopolitan Downtown Manhattan.
