Indian Village Appoquinimi was part of a large grant to Alexander D'Hinoyessa, vice-director of New Amstel. Edmund Cantwell became the second owner of the tract in 1673, and the village was named Cantwell's Bridge in 1731. It later became an important grain shipping center and in 1855 was named Odessa after the Russian grain port.
