The hub of the music printing industry was given the name Tin Pin Alley. This name was used to describe a specific area where songwriters and publishers in New York would go to. The hub was at its peak popularity during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Pianos saw an increase in sales after the Civil War, which led to a market for music publishers to tap into. New York's size and willingness to welcome national and international talent also played a role in the hub's prominence.
