Introduction

Union Square is a historic square located at the intersection of Broadway and Bowery in early 19th century New York City. The area served as a major intersection for both streets and streetcars, making it an important transportation hub. The square was named "Union" not to celebrate federal consolidation, but rather due to its role as a unifying location. It spans from 14th Street to the west, 17th Street to the north, and extends east to Union Square East, connecting the extensions of Broadway, Park Avenue South, Fourth Avenue, and Broadway. Due to its strategic location, Union Square benefits from a unique geographic position.
