What was here before?
This park is situated in Gravesend, a neighborhood with a name influenced by both Dutch and English heritage. The name is likely derived from the Dutch words Grafes and Ande, meaning "end of the grove," although it may also reference the English city of Gravesend near the settlement founder Lady Deborah Moody's former home at the mouth of the Thames River. On December 19, 1645, Dutch Governor Kieft granted Moody the first town charter written in English in the New World.
