Five Points
neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City
Five Points (or The Five Points) was a 19th-century neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The neighborhood, partly built on low-lying land that had filled in the freshwater lake known as the Collect Pond, was generally defined as being bound by Centre Street to the west, the Bowery to the east, Canal Street to the north, and Park Row to the south.
The Five Points gained notoriety as a densely populated, disease-ridden, crime-infested slum that existed for over 70 years. Through the 20th century, the former Five Points area was gradually redeveloped, with streets changed or closed.
