Why is New York called THE BIG APPLE ?

Asked by Storybooklover (278points) May 5th, 2010

I have heard this expression often and wondered why it was called this. Also if it’s one city what are Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx; are they on the outskirts of NYC or what exactly? I live in upstate NY and have never been to “THE BIG APPLE.”
