Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American cities have nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help people feel a sense of pride in their community . Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the best nickname for an American city . The winner was the nation’s biggest city, New York. The nickname they chose was “The Big Apple”. Where did the nickname “Big Apple” originally come from? In the nineteen seventies, New York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors was falling. A campaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new nickname. The New York board chose the nickname “The Big Apple” It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A journalist for a New York newspaper had used the name “The Big Apple” to

describe New York in the nineteen twenties.
