There are many rumours about how this nickname came about, including a nod to the Great Depression when prior financiers would sell apples to make money. The first published use of the term was in the 1920&#8217;s when sports writer John J Fitzgerald used the phrase to describe New York&#8217;s horse racing track. It wasn\u2019t until the 1970\u2019s that the name The Big Apple began to be widely used in reference to New York itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?resize=1024%2C575&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NYC.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">The languages of New York<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are over 800 different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/lets-talk-laundry-in-european-languages\/\">languages<\/a> spoken in New York, making it one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the world.
