Do you have New York City ancestors or other relatives and you have the street where they lived? Only the streets have changed over the years. A new tool may be able to help you find the original location. New York City’s vast and intricate web of streets, with its rich history, is now accessible through an updated app, NYC Street Map.

The Department of City Planning (DCP) has rolled out an updated version of the NYC Street Map tool, providing users with a record of not just the altered streets but also the original ones dating back to the early 20th century. The tool offers a digital compilation of the entire history of New York City’s 32,000-plus streets.

The tool, praised as an innovation that combines history with practicality, is hoped to benefit a broader audience range, from real estate developers to history enthusiasts.
