Located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, Castle Clinton stands where New York City began and represents both the city’s growth and the growth of a nation. Initially intended to prevent a British invasion in 1812, the fortification transformed over the years to welcome theatergoers, immigrants, sightseers, and now millions of visitors to New York Harbor.
