The only private park in New York City. Developed by Samuel Ruggles after buying the land in 1831 from Mayor James Duane. Ruggles drained the marshy site and laid out 66 building lots around a central park then sold the lots with access to a private park--an exclusive privilege which still draws residents to this location today. The area was home to performing and visual artists. In 1966 the park and surrounding blocks were designated an historic district.
