Mob Town

On November 14, 1957, over 100 of the most notorious organized crime figures from all over the United States held a historic meeting in the small town of Apalachin, New York. The meeting was ordered by Vito Genovese, who, at the time, successfully eliminated two of his biggest rivals, Frank Costello and Albert Anastasia. Genovese, who was the current boss of the Luciano crime family, decided to consolidate power and announce to the underworld that it was his time to be Capo Dei Capi, "the boss of bosses."
