Hastings on Hudson History
This area rising from the east bank of the Hudson and overlooking the Palisades to the west was once the home of the Weckquaesgeek Indians, one of the Algonquin tribes. In summer, the Weckquaesgeeks camped at the mouth of the ravine running under the present Warburton Avenue Bridge. There they fished, swam and collected oyster and clamshells used to make wampum. On the level plain nearby (Maple Avenue), they planted corn and possibly tobacco. In winter, the Weckquaesgeeks moved to a rock-sheltered area called "Punkie Barrie" (Uniontown). Living in huts of hemlock bark, sticks and animal skins, the Indians sewed together birch bark to make fine kettles. Pride in their kettles prompted the Indians to call this region "The Place of the Bark Kettle." In 1609 Henry Hudson, an English explorer employed by the Dutch East India Company, sailed up the river he named for himself. Soon after, the Dutch West India Company founded New Amsterdam and fur-trading settlements along the river. Around 1650 a Dutch carpenter named Frederick Philipse arrived in New Amsterdam. After marrying two rich widows in succession, Philipse began acquiring land along the east bank of the river. In 1682 he traded with the Indians for the area that is now Dobbs Ferry and Hastings. His price 4 guns, 4 fathoms (6 ft. Lengths) of wampum, 14 blankets, 6 fathoms of duffils {coarse woolen cloth), 6 pairs of stockings, 10 bars of lead, 3 kettles, l 2 pounds of powder, 1 drawing knife, 4 shirts, 2 fathoms of cloth, and 1 adze (ax). In 1693 the English crown granted Frederick Philipse title to the Manor of Philipsburg. For the next 80 years, the Philipses owned the land along the east bank of the Hudson from Spuyten Duyvil to the Croton River. After dividing the area that is now Hastings into four nearly equal-sized farms, the Philipses leased them to Dutch, English and French Huguenot settlers. During the Revolution, the area that is now Hastings lay between the lines of the warring forces and was declared neutral territory. The local tavern served both Colonials and British; the blacksmith at the neutral forge (383 South Broadway) shod horses from both sides. Yet, while technically neutral, this territory was actually a no-man's land and was raided constantly by both sides. One such raid by a band of Hessian marauders turned into the Battle of Edgar's Lane. On September 30, 1778, a local tavern owner named Peter Post led the Hessians into an ambush where they were killed or captured by Continentals and local militia. In return for h treachery, Post was severely beaten by Hessian retaliators. But he lived to see the British defeated and to become known, locally at leas as a Revolutionary hero. The village harbor also served the Revolutionary cause. By day patriots stored boats there, out of sight of British patrol boats. At night the patriots manned the boats and smuggled food and supplies across the river to Washington's army, which was camped on the other side The Philipses were loyal to George III so, after the Revolution succeeded, the state confiscated and sold their vast lands. In 1785 the four farms comprising what is now Hastings were bought by James DeClark, Jacobus Dyckman, George Fisher, and tavern keeper Peter Post. Another family named Lefurgy had wanted to buy land but could not afford it. For 35 years they had farmed the southern half of what is now Hastings, but the wartime raids had so devastated their land and livestock that they were too poor to buy their farms. Over the following decades, however, a new generation of Lefurgys, led by Isaac and Jane, acquired much of the old Lefurgy family tenant farms. Several buildings in Hastings today have parts dating from the eighteenth century: the Dyckman House (Andrus House), the Draper House (271 South Broadway) and the two stone structures (now private homes) on Zinsser Way. By act of the English General Assembly in 1683, Westchester County was established as one of the 10 original counties in New York. After the Revolution Westchester was divided into towns, and the area that is now Hastings became part of the Town of Greenburgh. In 1790 the Town of Greenburgh had 1,377 residents. Hastings most likely received its name from a resident named Saunders who reportedly had been born in the English town of Hastings, where William the Conqueror won the famous battle in 1066. Saunders operated one of the first factories in Hastings; he lived at 49 Washington Avenue, in what is now known as the Cropsey House. The village was incorporated in 1879 and its name changed from Hastings-Upon-Hudson to Hastings-on-Hudson. The first village ordinance in 1880 prohibited the running at large or pasturing on any public street of horses, swine, geese, goats or other animals. A policeman was hired at $40 a month to enforce the ordinance. His duties also included lighting and extinguishing the street lamps and enforcing the six-miles-per-hour speed limit.
