TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK
10.5 acres 占地10.5英亩

This park honors Daniel D. Tompkins (1774–1825), who served as Governor of New York from 1807 to 1817 and as Vice President of the United States under James Monroe (1758-1831) from 1817 to 1825. Peter Stuyvesant (1610–1672), director general of the Dutch colony of New Netherland, owned this property during the 17th century. Tompkins later acquired it, and by the 19th century, it was marked for development as a public square.
该公园以Daniel D. Tompkins 为傲。Daniel D. Tompkins 任过纽约州长，美国副总统。公园本是荷兰总督Peter Stuyvesant 的私产，Tompkins在19世纪获得所有权，把它打造为公共场所。（翻译太烦，其余部分自己弄个翻译器解决。）

The Commissioners’ Plan of 1811 proposed a large market on this land stretching from First Avenue to the East River, but plans for the market never materialized. Bordered today by Avenues A and B, and 7th and 10th Streets, Tompkins Square Park was acquired by the City in 1834. Originally swampland, this site was graded and landscaped between 1835 and 185
