Tammany Hall

Democratic Party organization in New York. It originated in 1789 as the Society of St Tammany, named after the building in which they met. It was dominant from 1800 until the 1930s and gained a reputation for corruption and rule by bosses; its domination was broken by Mayor La Guardia in the 1930s and Mayor Koch in the 1970s.
