Interesting! The origins of street names can reveal the forgotten history of an area. Do you have a story about a street name in your family history?

During the early 1640s, the Dutch built the first border wall in North America, a 12 foot (4 meter) structure to help protect against pirates, Native Americans and other potential enemies. In 1664, the British completely ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. The British renamed the Dutch settlement New York and tore down the wall and built a street. The street is now called Wall Street. And that very broad street you see on the map is now Broadway.

241st Annual Mohawk Landing This Weekend 🛶

The ancestors of the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka (The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte) arrived here by canoe on May 22, 1784, from Lachine, Quebec, where they were relocated from the banks of the Teyonontatátye River (Mohawk River) of present-day New York State during the American Revolution. This landfall is reenacted here every year on the May long weekend.

This year, the event takes place on Sunday, May 18, with the paddle-in ceremony beginning at 10 am at the Mohawk Landing Site (353 Bayshore Road), followed by a lunch, presentation and artisan market.
