Fort Tryon Park

<br>This historic area and its surroundings were developed and presented to the people of the City of New York in 1935 by John. D. Rockefeller, Jr. The adjacent hilltop, and outpost of Fort Washington, was gallantly defended in November 1776 by the Maryland and Virginia Regiment. After its capture, it was named Fort Tryon in honor of the last English civil governor of New York.<center><br><b>[ <i>Second Marker</i>: ]<br>Fort Tryon Park</b></center>In recognition of the generous support David Rockefeller has given to the Fort Tryon Park Trust on the occasion of the park’s 75th anniversary, this site is hereby dedicated as the David Rockefeller Linden Terrace.
