Coenties Alley & Coenties Slip

Coenties Alley is a pedestrian walkway in the Financial District of Manhattan. It is very old, having been around for centuries. The alley is perpendicular to William Street and Pearl Street to which it links. A short distance to the south is Coenties Slip, another pedestrian alleyway. Both of these were named after Conraet Ten Eyck and his wife Antje, a Dutch couple who were the original land owner in the area.

Coenties Alley was originally called City Hall Lane. That is because New York City once had its city hall there during the Dutch administration. It was known as Stadt Huys, meaning "state house", and was built in 1642.

Getting there

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
