Fort Tryon Park

This historic area and its surroundings were developed and presented to the people of the City of New York in 1935 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The adjacent hilltop, an outpost of Fort Washington, was gallantly defended in November 1776 by the Maryland and Virginia Regiment. After its capture, it was named Fort Tryon in honor of the last English civil governor of New York. In recognition of the generous support David Rockefeller gave to the Fort Tryon Park Trust on the occasion of the park’s 75th anniversary, this site was dedicated as the David Rockefeller Linden Terrace on June 15, 2010.
