Staten Island, one of New York City's five boroughs and coextensive with Richmond County, has Clovis-culture tools about 14,000 years old, first found in 1917 in the Charleston section. Permanent Native settlement and farming are thought to date from about 5,000 years ago. Rossville points, arrowheads of about 1500 to 100 BC, are named for the Rossville section, where they were first found. When Europeans arrived, the Raritan band of the Lenape lived there and called the island Aquehonga Manacknong, "as far as the place of the bad woods," or Eghquhous, "the bad woods," spelled Eghquaons in the 1657 deed to Lubbertus van Dincklage. Native trails crossed the island, one along today's Richmond and Amboy roads.
More about Staten Island
Giovanni da Verrazzano made the first recorded European contact in 1524, sailing through the Narrows on La Dauphine and anchoring for one night. The Dutch named the island Staaten Eylandt for the States General, the parliament of the Dutch Republic. Cornelis Melyn and David de Vries tried three times between 1639 and 1655 to found a settlement, and each was destroyed in fighting between the Dutch and the local Lenape. In 1661 a small group of Dutch, Walloon and French Huguenot families founded the first permanent settlement, Oude Dorp, "Old Village," just south of the Narrows near South Beach. Staten Island became part of New York City in the consolidation of 1898.
