Andrew Haswell Green
Andrew Haswell Green (October 6, 1820 – November 13, 1903) was a lawyer, New York City planner, and civic leader. Considered "the Father of Greater New York," he is responsible for Central Park, the New York Public Library, the Bronx Zoo, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also participated in or led projects including Riverside Drive, Morningside Park, Fort Washington Park, and the protection of the Hudson River Palisades from destruction. His last project was the consolidation of the "Imperial City" or City of Greater New York; he chaired the 1897 committee that drew up the plan of amalgamation.
==Early years==
Green was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on October 6, 1820, one of 11 children. In 1835, he moved to New York, where two of his sisters ran a school for young girls. Green is the brother of Samuel Fisk Green, a medical missionary of the American Ceylon Mission in Sri Lanka.
Green started work in the mercantile trade and befriended a local merchant, who subsequently hired him to manage his sugar refining plantation in Trinidad. Green lived there for about a year, where he kept a daily diary of his thoughts.〔Rubbinaccio, Michael "New York's Father is Murdered! The Life and Death of Andrew Haswell Green" (2012)〕
Green returned to Worcester for a year or two before returning to New York City to pursue a legal career.
