'''Chambers Street''' is a two-way street in the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[Manhattan]]. It runs from River Terrace, [[Battery Park City]]
==History==
Chambers Street is named for attorney John Chambers (1710–1764), an important [[parishioner]] at [[Trinity Church (Manhattan)|Trinity Church]] in Manhattan, where he was vestryman (1726–1757) and warden (1757–1765) of the church for 38 years, son of William Chambers, and husband of Anna Van Cortlandt.<ref name=nytimes>{{cite news |first=Bret |last=Senft |title=If You're Thinking of Living In/TriBeCa; Families Are the Catalyst for Change |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/26/realestate/if-you-re-thinking-of-living-in-tribeca-families-are-the-catalyst-for-change.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=
Before 1971, Chambers Street continued east of Centre Street as a street called '''New Chambers Street''', which ran through the Municipal Building's archway. In its final configuration, New Chambers Street carried traffic westbound from the intersection of [[Park Row (Manhattan)|Park Row]], the [[Brooklyn Bridge]] off-ramp, and Duane Street. In 1971, the street was closed to make way for the construction of the pedestrian plaza at [[1 Police Plaza]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 6, 1971
Beginning in 2010, Chambers Street was fully reconstructed.<ref>
