Since 1636
As its discoverer in 1574, Verrazzano observed the surrounding terrain and called it Agoleme. Upon this high ground Lenape Indians gazed down on Hudson's Half Moon as it sailed through the Narrows in 1609. In 1636, the Dutch erected the first block house, destroyed by Indians in 1655 and re-built in 1663 - one year before the Duke of York's men took possession of the territory. The British enlarged the fort and maintained control of the entire area until their departure in 1763. firing in this direction what may have been "the last shot of the Revolutionary War."| HM Number | HMCQO |
