This triangle is named Greenland because of its proximity to the park named for Leif Ericsson (c.960-c.1020), who discovered and attempted to colonize North America. His father, Erik the Red, discovered Greenland around 980. This square originally honored Henry Peter, a German immigrant who arrived in Bay Ridge around 1855 and who built a house in the area in 1860. In 1961, his house was destroyed for the construction of the Verrazano Bridge.
