"Bowery" is an anglicization of the Dutch bouwerie, derived from an antiquated Dutch word for " farm": In the 17th century the area contained many large farms. The street was known as Bowery Lane prior to 1807. In the 17th century, the road branched off Broadway north of Fort Amsterdam at the tip of Manhattan to the homestead of Peter Stuyvesant, director-general of New Netherland. It has historically been considered a part of the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
