What was here before?
This forested area on a steep slope overlooking the Harlem River commands an impressive view of Upper Manhattan, as well as a glimpse of the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades. During the American Revolution, the site proved strategically important for British forces in their efforts to maintain control of New York City. Several small forts lined the river and formed part of the British stronghold. British Fort #8 occupied the crest of the ridge now known as University Woods.
