So why is it referred to as the Big Apple?

knew it was once New Amsterdam, and that the Dutch occupied the area for a time, but somehow, the info about being called "Big Orange" just wasn't in my brain bank!

It was really a truce. The Dutch gave the English Manhattan in return for the Spice Islands.

Player Michele Syret, Upstate New York has many, many apple orchards. Could be one reason? Besides, the marketing slogan, "Take a Bite... ect" would not fly, if it was an Orange.
