“TriBeCa is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York in the United States. Its name is an acronym, meaning “Triangle Below Canal Street”
TriBeCa is bounded by Canal Street, West Street, Cortlandt Alley, Broadway, and Chambers Street
In the early 1970s, a couple of years after artists in SoHo were able to legalize their live/work situation, artist and resident organizations in the area to the south, known then as Washington Market or simply the Lower West Side, sought to gain similar zoning status for their neighborhood.
A group of Lispenard Street artist/residents living on the block directly south of Canal Street between Church Street and Broadway, in an area now part of the landmarked Tribeca Historic District, joined the effort. Just as the members of the SoHo Artists Association coined ‘SoHo’ after looking at a City Planning map which marked the area as ‘South of Houston’ and shortened that to SoHo, these Lispenard Street residents likewise employed a City Planning map to describe their block
The TriBeCa name came to be applied to the area south of Canal Street, between Broadway and West Street, extending south to Chambers Street. The area was New York City’s first residential neighborhood, with residential development beginning in the late 1700s. By the mid 1800s the area transformed into a commercial center with large numbers of store and loft buildings constructed along Broadway in the 1850s and 1860s.
