Manhattan is an island, which is part of New York City. It is the center of New York and the smallest borough. The Dutch bought it from the Native Americans and called it New Amsterdam, later the English took it over and changed the name to New York. The name Manhattan comes from the Lenape language meaning island of many hills.
