Times Square is a major intersection in Manhattan, a borough of New York City, at the junction of Broadway (Broadway (New York City)) and Seventh Avenue (Seventh Avenue (Manhattan)) and stretching from West 42nd (42nd street (Manhattan)) to West 47th Street (47th Street (Manhattan))s. The Times Square area consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues (Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)) from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd (53rd Street (Manhattan)) Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.
Formerly named Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed after the Times Building (now One Times Square) in April 1904. Times Square, sometimes known as the "Crossroads of the World," has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and has become a symbol of New York City. Times Square is principally defined by its spectaculars, animated, digital advertisements.
The intersection of Broadway and 42nd Street, at the south-east corner of Times Square, is the Eastern Terminus of the Lincoln Highway, the first road across the United States of America.
