Ancient Indian trails intersected at this place beside a large Indian village that extended to the Hackensack Creek. Early in the 18th century, the De Clark family built a gristmill here, and around 1816 it was the scene of the last witchcraft trial in New York state. The hamlet surrounding the De Clark farm was called Clarkstown. In 1870 George Washington and his troops encamped on the drill grounds east of the mill pond.
