Flatiron District

 

Flatiron District is a neighborhood in New York City named after the landmarked Flatiron Building, completed in 1902. Its designation as a neighborhood dates from the 1980s.

Flatiron District is usually considered to be bounded by 20th Street (or Union Square) to the south; the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) and Chelsea to the west; Madison Square (or NoMad) to the north; and Park Avenue South (or Lexington Avenue) to the east.

Flat Iron was the name of the place long before the building was completed in 1902. The Fifth Avenue Building was completed in 1909 on the same site of the historic Fifth Avenue Hotel.
