The uptown trend refers to the northward socioeconomic movement toward Upper Manhattan, a long-standing historical pattern from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Beginning with New Amsterdam at the island's southern tip, European colonial and later American settlement under the the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 expanded continually in a common direction. Different economic and social aspects took different trajectories, such as business and retail shift from Lower Manhattan to Midtown Manhattan; several New York City ethnic enclaves took their own route, most prominent African American neighborhoods from the Five Points through several intermediate stages to Harlem. The trend reversed itself to some extent in the 21st century, in the period after the September 11 attacks.
