History

• Theatre in New York moved from downtown gradually to midtown beginning around 1850

• In 1870, the heart of Broadway was in Union Square, and by the end of the century, many theatres were near Madison Square

• Theatres did not arrive in the Times Square area until the early 1900s, and the Broadway theatres did not consolidate there until a large number of theatres were built around the square in the 1920s and 1930s
