Kingsbridge Neighborhood
The neighborhood is named for the King's Bridge, likely erected by enslaved Africans[7] in 1693 and owned by Frederick Philipse, a local lord loyal to the British monarch. The bridge spanned a now-filled-in section of Spuyten Duyvil Creek, roughly parallel to today's 230th Street. The King's Bridge was part of Boston Post Road, connecting southern Westchester County (which later became the Bronx) with Marble Hill, once part of Manhattan Island and still part of the borough of Manhattan. The bridge is said to still be in place, having been buried when the creek bed was filled in. The creek's water flow was redirected to the new and deeper shipping canal south of Marble Hill.
Marble Hill Neighborhood
Marble Hill has been occupied since the Dutch colonial period. On August 18, 1646, Governor Willem Kieft, the Dutch Director of New Netherland, signed a land grant to Mattius Jansen van Keulan and Huyck Aertsen, including the whole community. Johannes Verveelen petitioned the Harlem authorities to move his ferry from what is now the East River and 125th Street to Spuyten Duyvil Creek because the creek was shallow enough to wade across, thus providing a means of evading the toll. The ferry charter was granted in 1667. Many settlers circumvented the toll for the ferry by crossing the creek from northern Marble Hill to modern Kingsbridge, Bronx, where it was feasible to wade or swim through the waters. In 1669, Verveelen transplanted his ferry to the northern tip of Marble Hill, at today's Broadway and West 231st Street.

OMG dude. Thank you SO much for honoring my request & going to Kimberly Place/Godwin by St. John's. I truly appreciate it. Many memories of childhood. I think this spring I'll take a couple of days off work and travel down to the old nieghborhoods and just walk around. Thank you for inspiring me!
