История [ править ]

Whitestone [ править ]

Голландские поселенцы получили название города от известняка, который раньше лежал на берегу реки в соответствии с народной традицией. Эта традиция поддерживается завещаниями и деяниями 17-го века, которые можно найти в «Нью-Йоркской генеалогической и биографической записи» , в которых «белый камень» упоминается как местный ориентир и ориентир для исследований. Уайтстоун получил свое название, потому что поселенцы обнаружили, что Уайтстоун был построен на белом известняке.

Этот район был по большей части поместьем Фрэнсиса Льюиса , делегата Континентального конгресса и подписавшего Декларацию независимости . Поместье было местом нападения англичан во время Войны за независимость. Льюиса не было, но его жена была взята в плен, а его дом сгорел дотла. Некоторое время Уайтстоун назывался Клинтонвиллем в честь Девита Клинтона , бывшего губернатора Нью-Йорка; эта этимология присутствует в названии улицы Клинтонвилл, расположенной по соседству. [5]В конце 19 века многие богатые жители Нью-Йорка начали строить особняки в этом районе на том месте, где когда-то были сельхозугодья или леса. Тем не менее, в 1920-х годах этот район начал быстро развиваться, когда в этот район попали троллейбусы и поезда Long Island Rail Road на ветке Уайтстоун . Хотя это железнодорожное сообщение прекратилось во время Великой депрессии , часть полосы отвода позже была использована Робертом Мозесом для строительства Белт-бульвара , который включает скоростную автомагистраль Уайтстоун, которая проходит вдоль юго-восточной окраины бывшего аэропорта Флашинг и через Уайтстоун. . Аэропорт Флашинг заброшен с 1985 года.

Дальнейшее развитие произошло с постройкой моста Бронкс-Уайтстоун в 1939 году. Мост имеет длину 2300 футов и на момент постройки был четвертым по длине мостом в мире.

Название части Мальбы на севере Уайтстоуна происходит от первых букв фамилий пяти основателей компании Мальба Лэнд: Мэйкок, Аллинг, Льюис, Бишоп и Авис. Мальба считается частью Уайтстоуна, одного из самых богатых сообществ Квинса. Демографически население в основном белое и имеет европейское происхождение (греки, итальянцы, ирландцы и евреи), с небольшим меньшинством американцев азиатского происхождения. Большая часть жилой недвижимости в Мальбе - это большие дома.

Первым известным жителем области, известной как современная Мальба, был Дэвид Роу, который прибыл из Англии в 1640-х годах. Согласно книге Кларенса Алмона Торри « Дэвид Роу из Флашинга и некоторые из его потомков» , Роу стал жителем Флашинга примерно в 1666 году. В 1683 году Роу облагался налогом с владения 35 акров (140 000 м 2 ) и после этого значительно увеличил свои владения, в конечном итоге приобретя возвышенность вокруг того, что должно было стать Мальбой. Ферма Роу находилась на восточной стороне залива, который тогда был известен как «Бухта Роу». Он был одним из самых обеспеченных граждан Флашинга, у него были земли, сельскохозяйственный инвентарь, столярные инструменты и два раба. [ необходима цитата ]

В 1786 году Джон Пауэлл купил участок площадью 87 акров (350 000 м 2 ) за 1685 фунтов, 6 шиллингов и 8 пенсов. Сообщалось, что Роу потерял свои земли за верность короне во время американской войны за независимость . После этого Пауэлл построил дом, и бухта была переименована в «Бухту Пауэлла», как она носит сегодня. В 19 веке часть земель Пауэлла перешла в руки Гарри Жене, члена Таммани-холла , печально известной политической машины Нью-Йорка. Дом Пауэлла был уничтожен пожаром в 1890-х годах.

Во второй половине XIX века земли Роу / Пауэлл перешли к череде владельцев. На карте 1873 года указаны Смиты, Бинингеры и Ностранды как землевладельцы в этом районе. Фермы Ностранд и Смит представляли собой большую часть того, чем является сегодня Мальба. Район вокруг Хилл-Корт и 14-й авеню был известен как «Уайтстоун-Хайтс». В 1883 году железнодорожное сообщение с Манхэттеном было продлено на «Уайтстоун-энд-Вестчестерская железная дорога», позже - на Лонг-Айленд-Рэйл-роуд . Конечная линия Уайтстоуна находилась в «Уайтстоун-Лэндинг» (154-я улица), популярном районе летнего курорта в конце 19-го и начале 20-го веков.

Уильям Зиглер, промышленник и президент Royal Baking Powder Company, купил все эти участки примерно в 1883 году, и его владения стали известны как «Урочище Циглера». Зиглер умер 24 мая 1905 года, оставив свою жену, Электу Матильду Зиглер (среди прочего, благотворитель для слепых) и сына Уильяма-младшего, которому тогда было 14 лет.

Уильям С. Чамп (бывший секретарь Циглера) и В. К. Демарест (племянник г-жи Зиглер) (оба стали одними из первых семей, проживающих в Мальбе) сформировали Realty Trust для покупки урочища Циглера у его поместья в целях развития. Чамп был вице-президентом Realty Trust, а также одним из исполнителей имущества Зиглера. Трактат Циглера был оценен в 100 000 долларов вскоре после смерти Зиглера. Весной 1906 года Realty Trust привлекла более 100 инвесторов из Нью-Хейвена, Гилфорда, Бриджпорта и других городов Коннектикута для запланированной покупки участка Циглер. Основываясь на обзоре ранних карт местности, разработчики в какой-то момент спланировали очень густонаселенную общину; с домами на участках шириной не более 20 футов (6,1 м). Очевидно,этот план был изменен, и были разработаны гораздо более крупные объекты. Доверие заявило инвесторам, что недвижимость может быть приобретена у поместья Циглер за 640 000 долларов. Фактически, 163 акра (0,66 км)2 ), который в конечном итоге стал Мальбой, был ранее куплен в имении Циглеров за 350 000 долларов. После этого такие жители Коннектикута, как Сэмюэл Р. Авис, Нобл П. Бишоп, Джордж У. Льюис, Дэвид Р. Аллинг и Джордж Мэйкок, были избраны попечителями (всего эти пять имен, которые объединились, чтобы сформировать название MALBA) компании Malba Land. . Истинная, меньшая сумма, уплаченная в собственность Зиглера, не была раскрыта до 1912 года. (Полное обсуждение приобретения земли Realty Trust и его последующей защиты по иску от Malba Land Company см. В Crowe v. Malba Land Co. , 135 NYS 454, 76 Misc. 676 (Sup. Ct. Queens Co., 1912)).

Развитие медленно началось в 1908 году. Была добавлена железнодорожная станция на линии Уайтстоуна, где сегодня находится 11-я авеню. Поля и Демаресты были одними из первых семей Мальбы, которые владели домами в Мальбе. Ко времени Первой мировой войны здесь было тринадцать домов, а в 20-е годы было построено более сотни. Железнодорожная станция закрылась в 1932 году. Треугольник у Мальба Драйв и 11-й авеню был посвящен как «Парк Джейн Чамп» 16 ноября 1969 года и был отремонтирован Мальба Филд и Морским клубом в 2005 году [6].

The Whitestone Branch was a branch of the Long Island Rail Road, running north and east from Flushing. It ran north along Flushing Bay and east along the East River to Whitestone.
