Gotham Name for New York City From Early Essays

In 1808 Washington Irving and his brothers William and James K. Paulding referred to New York City as Gotham. The nickname originates from a Nottinghamshire village famed in the Middle Ages as a residence of fools. A tradition says Gothamites mocked King John to deter a palace project and avoid costs.
