Although for a long time many people considered the origin of the term Big Apple to be a mystery,
researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology managed to determine the probably
etymology. "Apple" referred to many of the big horse racing courses around NYC (possibly due to the fact
that horses liked apples). Smaller tracks were often called "bull rings". The term was popularized for the
first time by John J. Fitz Gerald in The New York Morning Telegraph when he mentioned going to the "Big
Apple" as in going to the "big time"
