History
1
Bogertown was a small early 19th century community of ten houses that took its name from the prominent colonial Dutch Bogert family. Around 1824, Paradise Ave. was extended through the salt marshes to a 500-foot pier on the Hudson to accommodate steam vessels. The adjoining creek had been deepened and rerouted around 1740, becoming the first water-level entry to this area, then called Tappan Landing. First called "The Slote," Dutch for "ditch," the stream later became known as the Spar Kill.
