If you work on Wall Street, you recognize this bull. You may walk by him every day in Bowling Green Park. Here's the story of the bull.
Bowling Green, North America's oldest park, used initially as a cattle market, gets its name because the first Dutch settlers used it for lawn bowling. It's a pleasant place with a small patch of green with benches, flowers and a round fountain, to have a sandwich and rest your feet. Just north of Bowling Green you'll see a massive bronze statue of a bull (7,000-pounds!) that appeared unexpectedly at that location December 1989. The work of a struggling New York sculptor, Arturo DeModica, who placed it there without permission. It originally raised the ire of the city government. But they never removed the statue, and today it has become an accepted landmark. Charging Bull is visited by numerous tourists every year and often touched by stock market investors for good luck.
