" The Big Apple " is a nickname for New York City.

Although the history of the Big Apple was once thought a mystery, research over the past two decades, primarily by amateur etymologist Barry Popik and Gerald Cohen of Missouri University of Science and Technology, has provided a reasonably clear picture of the term's history.

The Big Apple was first popularized as a reference to New York City by John J. Fitz Gerald in a number of New York Morning Telegraph articles in the 1920s in reference to New York horse-racing.

He explained his use in a February 18, 1924, column under the headline " Around the Big Apple ":

The Big Apple.

There's only one Big Apple.

" From here we're headin ' for The Big Apple ," proudly replied the other.

Tucker had earlier used " Big Apple " as a reference to a different city, Los Angeles.

This example, from May 15, 1920, is the earliest known use of " Big Apple " to refer to any city.

It is possible that the writer simply understood " Big Apple " as an appropriate nickname for any large city:

Dear Pal, Tony: No, Ragtime Billy Tucker hasn't dropped completely out of existence, but is still in the ' Big Apple ', Los Angeles.

By the late 1920s, New York writers other than Fitz Gerald were starting to use " Big Apple " and were using it outside of a horse-racing context.

" The Big Apple " was a popular song and dance in the 1930s.

By the 1960s, " the Big Apple " was known only as an old name for New York.

In the early 1970s, however, the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau ( now NYC & Company, the official marketing and tourism organization for New York City ), under the leadership of its president, Charles Gillett, began promoting " the Big Apple " for the city.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani in 1997 signed legislation designating the southwest corner of West 54th Street and Broadway, the corner on which John J. Fitz Gerald lived from 1934 to 1963, as " Big Apple Corner.

In Evita, Buenos Aires is referred to as " B. A., Buenos Aires, Big Apple " in the song Eva, Beware of the City.
