The historical origin of new york being called the "big apple";

In the 1920s, the word "Apple" was first used to describe the city. At that time, horse racing was a very important sport. The jockeys in all racetracks in the United States call the prize money of horse racing "Apple", and in all competitions in the United States, new york's prize money is the richest, so new york is called "around the Big Apple" in the jockey circle.

John Fitzgergald, a reporter from new york Morning Post, used the description of "around the Big Apple" when reporting the game. Over time, the "Big Apple" has become synonymous with a city with abundant resources, many chances of success and high return on investment, and also with new york.
