Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American Cities have

nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help people feel a sense of pride in

their Community.

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to Choose the best nickname

for an American City. The winner was the nations biggest city, New York. The nickname they

chose was The Big Apple.

Where did the nickname Big Apple originally come from? In the nineteen seventies, New

York suffered from image problems. The number of Visitor was falling. A campaign was

launched to give the city a new image and a new nickname. The New York board chose the

nickname The Big Apple

 9

It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A journalist for a

New York Newspaper had used the name The Big Apple to Describe New York in the

nineteen twenties.

The Big Apple was also the Name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City in the

nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a Popular dance and hit song around that time.

The Big Apple is not the only nickname for Americas Biggest city. Almost one hundred

nicknames that describe New York have been Recorded. Some of the best known nicknames for

New York are The Capital of the World, Empire City, Gotham, The City So Nice They

Named it Twice and The City That Never Sleeps.
