(1763-1789), the fight for our nation's independence from
British rule, irrevocably shaped the course of American history
and physically transformed the colonial landscape. Evidence of
Revolutionary War action is imprinted on New York City from the
Battery in Manhattan to Fort Greene in Brooklyn, from Newtown
Creek in Queens to Port Richmond in Staten Island. The Bronx
neighborhood of Kingsbridge, so named for the first bridge
connecting Manhattan with the mainland in 1693, was
strategically important during the Revolution in the New York
Campaign and subsequently in the British defense of the city.
