POLICE OFFICER EDWARD BYRNE PARK

 

What was here before?

This area was largely rural into the early 20th century, populated by farms, including one owned by Jacob Bergen on this site. A portion of Bergen’s farm was condemned for water supply uses by the Nassau Water Company in 1856, and the City purchased additional parcels from several of Jacob Bergen’s descendants between 1895 and 1897. The Bergens retained property north of the park into at least the 1920s.
