  • Rockwood Hall History
    Rockwood Hall in the Rockefeller State Park Preserve Mount Pleasant, New York Rockwood Hall is the site of the former home of William Rockefeller (1841-1922), brother of John D. Rockefeller and co-founder of the Standard Oil Company. Laurance S. Rockefeller donated the property to New York State as park land in 1999 The Original Inhabitants Native Americans once lived on these hills along the Hudson, which they called “Muhheakantuck” - the “river that flows both ways”. The Weckquaesgeek, who were a part of the Algonquin-speaking Lenni Lenape tribe, lived in wood and skin- covered wigwams. They were primarily sedentary and agrarian, but established seasonal and hunting encampments. The Hudson Valley was rich in fish and oysters, bears, wolves, deer, beaver, muskrat, and squirrels – all vital foods. In addition, they farmed and harvested wild herbs, tubers and walnuts, acorns, hazelnuts, hickories, and natural products for baskets, tools, canoes, and clothing. Disease carried by early European explorers weakened the tribes and various treaties with Europeans over the succeeding decades eventually served to end many of the tribe’s land claims along the Hudson River. Early European History The first European to hold title to this property was a Dutchman named Adriaen Van der Donck (left), who in 1645 acquired a very large tract of land from the Dutch West Indies Company. He sold his holdings in 1693 to Frederick Philipse I, who obtained a royal charter from King William III and Queen Mary of Great Britain and established Phillipsburg Manor,an estate of over 50,000 acres in Westchester County and the present- day Bronx.
