Squeezed in between the Harlem River and Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is a small neighborhood known as Mott Haven, after Jordan Mott, owner of the Mott Iron Works at East 134th Street. His handiwork can be seen all over town on airshaft and manhole covers.
Jordan Mott had bought the original property from Gouverneur Morris II in 1849. Morris was asked if he minded if the area was called Mott Haven, a name it had quickly acquired. "I don't care...while he is about it, he might as well change the Harlem River to the Jordan."
