Harlem, Residential neighborhood in Upper Manhattan, United States
Harlem extends from Central Park North to West 155th Street, bordered by Fifth Avenue to the east and Saint Nicholas Avenue to the west.
Dutch settlers established the village of Nieuw Haarlem in 1653, naming it after the Dutch city of Haarlem in the Netherlands.
The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s transformed the neighborhood into a center of African American art, literature, and music through the Apollo Theater performances.
Multiple subway lines, including the A, B, C, D, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 trains, connect Harlem to other parts of Manhattan and New York City.
The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture maintains an extensive collection of materials documenting the African American experience throughout history.
