Harlem je dio četvrti Manhattan u New Yorku, dugo poznat kao glavni afroamerički stambeni, kulturni i poslovni centar. Harlem je osnovan kao nizozemsko selo, formalno organizirano 1658. godine.[1] Ime je dobio po gradu Haarlemu u Nizozemskoj.
Povijest
Prvi europski naseljenici na ovom području "Novog Harlema" bili su Hendrick (Henry) de Forest, Isaac de Forest te njihova sestra Rachel de Forest koji su bili francusko nizozemski emigranati, emigrirali 1637. godine.[2]
Harlem je kroz svoju povijest imao velike promjene stanovništva. Crni stanovnici započeli su pristizati 1904. godine za vrijeme velike migracije u SAD-u.
