The Commissioners' Plan of 1811 was the original design plan for the streets of Manhattan, which put in place the grid plan that has defined Manhattan to this day. It has been called "the single most important document in New York City's development,"

In 1853, Central Park was laid out between 59th and 110th Streets and Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenues.

John Randel's survey bolt marked the location of Sixth Avenue and 65th Street; the location later became part of Central Park.
