    Dear Web Visitor, </p>

    Thank you for contacting us!New York's &quot;nickname&quot; is the Empire State, so that is why we have that name. </p>

    Rumor is that when Henry Hudson sailed up New York harbor into what is now the Hudson River he was so taken by the </p>

    beauty and majesty of the area that he said &quot;This is the new empire&quot;. </p>

    Regards, The Empire State Building Team</p>
