The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792 when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by twenty-four stock brokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree. On March 8, 1817 the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board". This name was shortened to its current form in 1863. Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange's first president.
Stock exchanges don't start at 0. The number you see is a selection of stocks that are chosen by the exchange's board. You'll see that stocks are listed and delisted. Adding all those listed stocks is the big number that you see.
