Designed to provide business associates with a wide range of trading and financial opportunities, the New York Stock Exchange drafted an official constitution in 1817 electing Anthony Stockholm as the first Exchange president. Since then the NYSE has grown to the largest stock exchange in the world (by dollar value), executing billions of trades per day at their official trading space on Wall Street. A vital part of the regional, national and international economy, the New York Stock Exchange has long been an international symbol of growth and prosperity, encouraging small businesses to join the global community.
