Constitution Island

Constitution Island is located in the Hudson River, just south of Cold Spring, Putnam County, New York. Formerly known as "Martelaer's Rock", It is the site of the earliest Revolutionary War fortifications in the Hudson Valley. The island was given to the United States of America in 1909, and since then has been administered by the United States Military Academy.
==Martelaer's Rock==
Between Cold Spring and West Point lay a large rocky island connected to the eastern shore by a reedy marsh. Dutch Navigator's called it Martelaer's Island and the part of the river between it and Storm King Mountain, Martelaer's Rack, or Martyr's Reach. The word "martyr" signified "struggling", as vessels coming up the river with a fair wind would frequently find themselves, immediately after passing the point of the island into the reach, contending with the wind ahead.〔(Lossing, Benson John. ''The Hudson, from the Wilderness to the Sea'', New York, Virtue and Yorston, 1866 )〕
