Longacre Square, Commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan, United States
The square forms a junction where Broadway meets Seventh Avenue and 42nd Street, creating a central gathering space in Manhattan.
The area changed its name from Longacre Square to Times Square in 1904 when The New York Times newspaper relocated its headquarters there.
The square transforms into a celebration space each December 31st for the New Year's Eve ball drop, which started in 1907.
The Times Square subway station connects multiple train lines and serves approximately 65 million passengers annually through its underground passages.
Digital billboards and screens covering the buildings use enough electricity daily to power 161,000 average American homes.
