Wall Street West is a name used by real estate developers, city officials and news media in the United States to call particular streets or places west of Manhattan that have a high concentration of Wall Street companies or a major exchange. The most notable for that is along the waterfront of Jersey City, New Jersey.
For those locations in the Western United States, the name "Wall Street of the West" has been used in the latter part of the 19th century. Montgomery Street in San Francisco has been known by that nickname to date. A couple of other places were known by that name for a period of time and that was faded away when the industry moved out to other areas.
