What was here before?
This property, located “mid-island” on the eastern shore, was owned by the prominent Egbert family. Covert Egbert is believed to have settled on Staten Island in 1660. Covert’s descendant Jacobus and his wife, Catharina Dey Egbert, had son Teunis Egbert, whose son John Egbert was born in 1751. John, a farmer and weaver, owned much of the area around the intersection of Richmond Road and Rockland Avenue, now known as Egbertville. By the 1800s, John inherited this piece of property as well. His great-grandson George Ebgert, a prominent Staten Island educator, later became the namesake of the middle school that borders this park.
