Stock trading did not begin in London until 1688.
On May 17, 1792, twenty-four stock brokers signed the Buttonwood Agreement outside 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree. On March 8, 1817, they were renamed into "New York Stock & Exchange Board".
In the 19th century, exchanges (generally known as futures exchanges) were established to trade futures contracts and later options contracts.
NASDAQ: National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation or NASDAQ was established in 1971. This was the first stock exchange to introduce the concept of electronics in stock trading. It is one of the most efficient stock exchanges in the world and it surpassed the average trading volume of the NYSE in October 2004.
