Investopedia explains 'Little Board'

The nickname is derived from the term "big board", which is used to describe the NYSE. In the early 1900s the consolidated stock exchange was located across the street from the NYSE and picked up the name little board. It was also not so affectionately called "The Morgue". Now "little board" usually refers to the AMEX.
