NewYork, the most populous city in the United States, has been given many nicknames, including The City That Never Sleeps, Empire City, and Gotham — but perhaps the most famous one of all is the Big Apple.
The nickname "The Big Apple" originated in the 1920s in reference to the prizes (or "big apples") rewarded at the many racing courses in and around New York City. However, it wasn't officially adopted as the city's nickname until 1971 as the result of a successful ad campaign intended to attract tourists. Throughout its history, the term "big apple" has always come down to simply mean the best and biggest of places to be, and New York City has long lived up to its nickname.
