Times Square makes up most of the western midtown Manhattan area. In the 1800s the area was known as Longacre Square. It housed horse exchanges and stables, carriage factories, blacksmith's shops and upscale brothels. In 1904, The New York Times moved in and established one of the tallest buildings in the city. The newspaper convinced the city to create a subway stop there and to rename the area 'Times Square'. When the new building was opened on 31 December 1904, the newspaper celebrated by holding a public New Year's Eve celebration in the square, complete with fireworks.
