During the Revolutionary War this Land was Known as "Cox Hill", which is proabably a variation of the Native american word "Shorakapok" which means 'the edge of the River'.
In the 1800's, much of present-day Inwood Hill Park contained country homes and philanthropic institutions. There was a charity house for women, and a free public library (later the Dyckman Institute) was formed. The Straus family (who owned Macy÷s) enjoyed a country estate in Inwood; its foundation is still present. Isidor and Ida Straus lost their lives on the S.S. Titanic÷s maiden voyage.
