Comments:
Part of a series of 22 plaques surrounding Union Square depicting the history of the square from 1600 to 1882 - the year in which the first Labor Day Parade took place at Union Square, and labor movement events that were held in the United States (Union)

The plaques are made of bronze, designed by Gregg LeFevre and set up in 2002

The current plaque is taken from the Dripps Map, a map drawn by Matthew Dripps and depicting New York and its surroundings in the 1860s.
