In 1917, the first electric billboard arrived in Times Square. The mechanically animated sign advertised Wrigley's Spearmint gum using 17,500 lights. The sign was a gum pack,  eight stories tall and two hundred feet long.

 It is estimated there are now 250 major billboards or signs in Times Square, some costing advertisers $2.5 million dollars a year in rental space.

New York City requires the signs in Times Square to be at least one and a half times brighter than a typical lighted billboard, many in Times Square are much brighter.

The first electric marquee appeared on Broadway in 1891 at a theater on Madison Square at Broadway and 23rd Street. The famous Flatiron Building now occupies the site.

 By midway through the following decade, the street blazed with electric signs as each theater announced its shows and stars in white lights. 

With the advent of a subway system, several lines converging at 42nd Street and Broadway, Times Square became the obvious choice for a new theater district. 

There were so many theaters with bright white lights, it became  known as the “Great White Way”!
