Setting The Great Gatsby is set in New York City and on Long Island, in two areas known as "West Egg" and "East Egg"—in real life, Great Neck and Port Washington peninsulas on Long Island. “West Egg” is New Money: this section represents the newly rich- they have made their money within their own lifetimes.

The wealth has been in their families for generations and generations.
