The history of New York City (1855–1897) started with the inauguration in 1855 of Fernando Wood as the first mayor from Tammany Hall, an institution that would dominate the city throughout this period. Reforms led to the New York City Police Riot of June 1857. There was chaos during the American Civil War, with major rioting in the New York Draft Riots. Later years saw the rise of the Gilded Age which saw prosperity for the city's upper classes amid the further growth of a poor immigrant working class, and an increasing consolidation, both economic and municipal, of what would become the five boroughs in 1898. Ocean-going steamships and steam railroads, developed in earlier decades, grew to take over most long distance transport, bringing an ever-increasing stream of immigration and industrialization.〔For a visual overview of the era, see Eric Homberger, ''The historical atlas of New York City: A visual celebration of 400 years of New York City's history'' (Macmillan, 2005), pp 84-111〕 File:Central Park New York City.svg|upright|thumb|right|200px|Map of Central Park.
