Bowling Green

Bowling Green

Bowling Green is a small public park in New York.

History

The park was originally created to be a place where people could go and relax, though, in 1770, a statue of King George III was placed here to celebrate the repeal of the Stamp Act. One year later, a large fence was placed around the park to prevent people from destroying the statue.

In 1776, after the Declaration of Independence was read, people tore down the fence and destroyed the statue, subsequently using it for musket balls for the Continental Army.

Bowling Green still exists today; however, the statue of the "Charging Bull" was placed instead.
