The square stands on the site of the original city fortifications and has long been used for parades and demonstrations. At one end is the imposing statue of President Sadi Carnot, assassinated in 1894.
In 1956, the square was renamed Place New York Square in commemoration of Verrazzano's journey in the service of Francis I, who in 1524 named the site of present-day New York as New Angoulême.
