The neighborhood is anchored by the St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery Church, built on land originally purchased by Petrus Stuyvesant in 1651 from the Dutch West India Company to build a family chapel. Petrus Stuyvesant laid out the street plan for the development of his property in 1787, naming several nearby streets after his children, Judith, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Cornelia. His son, Peter, would famously go on to found the New York Historical Society while his grandson, Hamilton Fish, born at 21 Stuyvesant Street, would later become Governor of New York and then Secretary of State for eight years.
