On May 17, 1792 a group of twenty-four traders gathered under a buttonwood tree at 68 Wall Street in lower Manhattan, NYC to negotiate the conditions and regulations of the speculative market. The result was the Buttonwood Agreement, a simple, two
sentence contract.
The New Yorkers dedicated the Tontine Coffee House in Wall Street as their exchange in 1793. In 1817, they formed the New York Stock & Exchange Board with its own constitution and bylaws; its name was changed to the New York Stock Exchange in 1863.
