CHELSEA NAME ORIGIN
Twenty-six years before the American Revolution, retired British Major Thomas Clarke, veteran of the French and Indian wars, purchased 94 acres of land three miles north of New York City. Clarke, named it Chelsea, after an English veterans’ hospital and old soldiers’ home, in honor of his comrades across the Atlantic.
HUDSON YARDS
Hudson Yards is a 28-acre real estate development in the Chelsea and Hudson Yards neighborhoods of Manhattan, New York City. Upon completion, 13 of the 16 planned structures on the West Side of Midtown South would sit on a platform built over the West Side Yard, a storage yard for Long Island Rail Road trains. The first of its two phases, opened in 2019, comprises a public green space and eight structures that contain residences, a hotel, office buildings, a mall, and a cultural facility. The second phase, on which construction has not started as of 2020, will include residential space, an office building, and a school.

As career companies were being added to the expanding neighborhoods of Queens, division level supervision continued to be provided from Brooklyn's Division 11 and Division 13. Division 13 covered the eastern area of Queens from Flushing Creek to the Nassau County border. By 1927, Division 13 consisted of four battalions in Brooklyn and four battalions in Queens. As yet another battalion was to be added to the Division in 1930, a reorganization of Divisions occurred. Division 13 retained the Queens battalions while the Brooklyn battalions were organized as the new Division 15. The alignment of the two Queens Divisions has shifted from a predominantly east-west orientation to generally north-south. During the 1995-1997 division renumbering, Queens was covered by a single Division (5).
