The City of New York has proclaimed May 26, 2011 to be “Dow Jones Industrial Average Day” in recognition of the iconic index’s 115th anniversary.
Founded on May 26, 1896 in New York City by Charles Dow, one of the founders of The Wall Street Journal, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has evolved from 12 stocks published for readers of The Journal to 30 stocks, becoming “the most recognizable, most frequently quoted, and longest-serving market indicator of its kind,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an official proclamation issued from his office.
