The bridge is named for the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. His ship was the first to enter New York Harbor.[4]

When construction was finished, the Verrazzano-Narrows was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It was the longest until the Humber Bridge surpassed that length in 1981.[5]
