110 Tottenville
геогр. Тоттенвиль (район Нью-Йорка)Heading west brings us into the hood as Tottenville. It is everything between Arthur Kill, Richmond Valley Rd, Raritan Bay, and Page Ave. This hood is mostly residential. Originally, it was home to the Unami Indians until it was settled in 1678 by Christopher Billop and called it Bently after the ship he had used to come the new world. Around this time, the area was an important point for ferry service to Philadelphia. Durring the American Revolution, the Billop family had been Tories and were loyal to the British and lost their property when the war ended. In 1776, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge had a confrence with Admiral Lord Richard Howe to make a settlement, but it failed. Durring the 1800's factories were built here to provide jobs. In 1860, the B&O RR built a terminating station here and called it Tottenville, after the family who had lived here. Around 1900, Tottenville became known for shipbuilding, and the factories became obsolete. Houses were built in the Victorian style durring the 1920's and 1930's, though most developement came after the 1960's. For those who don't know, Tottenville is literally they southernmost point in the state of NY, though technically it's NYC. Unfortunately, this is the last of the NYC hoods, and I hope that many of you have enjoyed them when I had started them hence this will be the end. You can get here by taking the SIR to the Nassau, Atlantic, and Tottenville Stations. Here is what you will find in Tottenville. (From a forum)
