  • City of New Rochelle, New York, As Seen from the Air in 1938
    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

  • Interim Report February 2011
    Department of Development Phone: (914) 654-2185 515 North Avenue FAX: (914) 632-3626 New Rochelle, NY 10801 Michael W. Freimuth Commissioner City of New Rochelle New York Interim Report of the Davids Island Task Force February 2011 The Davids Island Task Force proposes the following vision; A hotel/marina with a conference center to be surrounded by land reserved for simultaneous or eventual conversion to a public park for passive recreation. This facility should be of such scale and luxury rating as to attract regional business conferences as well as seasonal vacationers. The vision seeks to achieve a balance between developments that provide a fair economic return while simultaneously respects the preservation of the natural environment. The vision is accompanied with the following elements: Concentrate initially on short-term steps that can be self-contained, sustainable and serve as a catalyst for future development. Allow further development to unfold on a phased basis. Blend private development with public use and access, with the intent that the former should partially or wholly support the latter. Prohibit cars. Maintain a degree of public ownership and/or perpetual public access. All development must be energy neutral. Create a destination. This brief summarizes the activities of the Davids Island Task Force (DITF) and provides an outline of the next steps for public outreach. BACKGROUND Davids Island (“the Island”) is located in western Long Island Sound, a short distance from the New Rochelle mainland. The Island is approximately 120 acres in size, of which 80 acres are upland and 40 acres are underwater. With the exception of a 5 acre Consolidated Edison easement, the Island is owned entirely by the City of New Rochelle (“City”) and is currently vacant and inaccessible.
