The NYSE was founded 17 May 1792 when 24 stockbrokers signed the Buttonwood Agreement on Wall Street in New York City. Famously, they met beneath a Buttonwood tree and formed a centralised exchanged for the burgeoning securities market in the United States.

The exchange evolved from a meeting of 24 stockbrokers and was formally constituted as the New York Stock and Exchange Board in 1817. The present name was adopted in 1863. For most of the NYSE’s history, ownership of the exchange was controlled by members—limited (since 1953) to 1,366—and the only means of obtaining a membership was by purchasing (since 1868) a seat from an existing member.
After the panic of 1837, when many investors suffered heavy losses, the exchange began to demand that companies disclose to the public information about their finances as a condition of offering stock. The stock market crash of 1929, which signaled the start of the Great Depression, led to an investigation by the federal government and regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
A corporation must meet defined requirements in order to be listed on the NYSE, and it must meet continued listing criteria to maintain its place there
