New York City (Earth-239)

undefinedLocated on the east coast, the land of New York was originally inhabited by Lenape Native Americans, and served as the capital of the United Staes for one year in the 17th century, and has been one of America's largest and most popular cities.

History
Founded in 1624 by Dutch traders, New York City occupies over three hundred square miles and is home to an estimated eight million residents. Super heroes have had a presence in NYC for decadesm as the high population density ensures that at least a handful of citizens are imperiled at all times. Though "street crimes" like muggings have plummeted in recent decades thanks to the efforts of conventional law enforcement, New York offers many "exotic" threats to the lives of it's citizens, such as alien invasions, renegade robots and the occasional supervillain.

Nick Fury's Notes
"City that never sleeps" is right. If I'd gotten a nickel for every time this city's caused me grief... well, that number's classified. But it would buy a lot of cigars.
