Little Syria (Arabic: سوريا الصغيرة) was a diverse neighborhood that existed in the New York City borough of Manhattan from the late 1880s until the 1940s. The name for the neighborhood came from the Arab speaking population who emigrated from Ottoman Syria. Today this area would include the nations of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Also called the Syrian Quarter, or Syrian Colony in local newspapers it encompassed a few blocks reaching from Washington Street in Battery Park to above Rector Street. This neighborhood became the center of New York’s first community of Arab speaking immigrants. In spite of this name the neighborhood was never exclusively Syrian or Arab, as there were many other Irish, German, Slavic, and Scandinavian immigrant families present.

  • سوريا الصغيرة (بالإنجليزية: Little Syria)‏، أو الحي السوري Syrian Quarter، كانت أحد أحياء مانهاتن، وكان يقطنه عرب أغلبهم هاجروا من سوريا، من نهاية ثمانينات القرن التاسع عشر حتى أربعينات القرن العشرين. كان الحي يقع في شارع واشنطن من حتى ريكتور ستريت، ويصل امتداده إلى الموقع الذي شغله لاحقاً مركز التجارة العالمي، حيث وجد حجر الأساس لكنسية القديس جورج المارونية في موقع حطام المركز في سنة 2001. تدهور الحي تدريجياً مع تحسن أحوال أهله وهجرتهم إلى مناطق أفضل، لا سيما بروكلين. ثم زال بصورة شبه تامة بعد هدم جزء كبير من شارع واشنطن لبناء مدخل نفق بروكلين-باتري.

  • Little Syria (la Petite Syrie), aussi appelée le quartier syrien, était un quartier du Lower Manhattan habité des années 1880 aux années 1940 par des émigrés en majorité chrétiens de la Syrie ottomane. Paul Morand évoque dans New York (1930) la « Petite Syrie », qui « représente la vieille colonie car la nouvelle, et c'est également vrai pour les Grecs, a émigré à Brooklyn. » (fr)
  • Little Syria dulunya merupakan permukiman Arab Amerika yang pernah berdiri di borough Manhattan, New York City pada akhir 1880-an sampai 1940-an. Juga disebut Syrian Quarter, permukiman ini mencakup dari Battery Park sampai hulu . Enklave ini, pada luas puncaknya, pernah mencapai situs World Trade Center – batu sudut bangunan St. Joseph's Maronite Church ditemukan di reruntuhannya setelah 11 September. Permukiman ini semakin terancam keberadaannya karena para penduduknya sudah banyak yang sukses dan pindah ke daerah lain, terutama di Brooklyn, dan hilang sepenuhnya ketika sebagian besar wilayah di hilir Washington Street dirobohkan untuk membuat jembatan pintu masuk .
