Manhattan New York Historical Facts[edit | edit source]

Officially, the Borough of Manhattan is one of five boroughs of greater New York City since 1898. The county is coterminous with the Borough of Manhattan (meaning they have identical borders).

Description[edit | edit source]

The County was named for the Lenape language 'manaháhtaan' (where 'manah-' means "gather", '-aht-' means "bow" and '-aan' is an abstract element used to form verb stems). The County is located in the southeast area of the state. [1]

1664 Yorkshire became the first large government unit (not actually a county) organized by New York after the English took control from the The Netherlands. It was divided into three ridings including North Riding (Westchester, Bronx, New York (Manhattan), Nassau and part of Queens counties). [3]
1683 New York ended Yorkshire, creating New York (Manhattan) County from part of it.
1693 Orange County was given to New York County.
1698 Orange County was made independent of New York County.

1881 North Brother Island was added to New York County.
1884 Rikers Island was added to New York County.

Church records are good substitutes for birth, marriage, and death information and are most often found on a local city/town or county level.  Published and manuscript church records can be found at public, university, and private libraries.

For a brief general history of denominations and a guide to finding various New York denomination's records, see New York Church Records Wiki page.

Baptisms at the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam 1639-1730
This is the first of a series of files on the baptisms at the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam. Accent marks on names have been left out for simplicity so that the data is acceptable to all computer platforms. Unfortunately many of the records the transcriber had concerning data prior to 1639 are missing, lost, or destroyed after all these years (it is about 20 years ago that he copied most of them). So he only has six baptisms for 1639.
