Chapters: New York City Ethnic Enclaves. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 130. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Since its founding in 1625 by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam, New York City has been a major destination for immigrants of many nationalities, naturally forming ethnic enclaves, neighborhoods dominated by one ethnicity. Freed African American slaves also moved to New York City in the Great Migration and the later Second Great Migration and formed ethnic enclaves. These neighborhoods are set apart from the main city by differences such as food, goods for sale, or even language. Ethnic enclaves provide inhabitants security in work and social opportunities, but limit economic opportunities, don't encourage the development of English speaking, and keep immigrants in their own culture. As of 2000, 36% of the population of New York City are immigrants. These immigrants and native New Yorkers represent over 100 different countries and almost 170 languages. African Americans and Jamaican Americans have both formed ethnic enclaves in New York. Asian ethnic groups with enclaves in New York include Chinese Americans, Filipino Americans, Indian Americans, and Korean Americans. European ethnic groups with ethnic enclaves include German Americans, Greek Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, and Jewish Americans. Latin American groups with ethnic enclaves include Dominican Americans, Guyanese, Mexican Americans, and Nuyoricans. Middle Eastern ethnic groups have also formed ethnic enclaves. New York City was founded in 1625, by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam was a slow growing village, but was diverse, which can partially be attributed to Holland's desirability, meaning the colony attracted fewer Dutch and more people from different ethnic groups. As early as 16...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12617410 ... Read more

Excerpt: Tibbetts Brook Park -In 1668, Georger Tibbetts purchased the land from Elias Doughty who had owned a massive estate that encompassed much of the land from the Hudson River through the Bronx River and Saw Mill River. George's descendants were removed from the land after the American Revolution for their loyalty to the British Crown. Their land was subsequently confiscated and sold. Westchester County purchased 161 acres of this undeveloped land in 1927 and entered it into the park system. The park was partially the site of the Battle of Tibbett's Brook or Battle of Kingsbridge in 1778. Sachem (Chief) Daniel Ninham, an American Indian chief and Ethan Allen joined with other Americans and fought the Queen's Rangers commanded by John Graves Simcoe. Ninham led the Stockbridge Indians and an Indian company from the Wappinger Tribe. The battle lasted from August 30 to 31. The British won and Ninham along with 40 other Indians died during the battle and were buried in an area now known as Indian Field. Four British soldiers were killed and three were wounded including Simcoe. Part of the Old Croton Aqueduct runs through Tibbetts Brook Park. The aqueduct was built between 1837 and 1842 in order to supply fresh clean water for New York City which was suffering water-borne disease outbreaks. In 1890, the Old Croton Aqueduct was decommissioned to make way for the new, improved and higher capacity New Croton Aqueduct. On July 1, 1...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25337206 ... Read more
