Hyde Park is a town located in the western portion of Dutchess County, New York, United States, along the Hudson River and just north of the town of Poughkeepsie. Hyde Park is most famous for being the hometown of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His grandfather's home there, the Isaac Roosevelt House, is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, as are the homes of Franklin D. Roosevelt himself, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick William Vanderbilt, along with Franklin D. Roosevelt High School. Hyde Park is the location of The Culinary Institute of America, a residential college devoted to culinary and pastry arts. The population was 21,571 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Hyde Park town, Dutchess County, New York )〕 US Route 9 passes through the town near the Hudson River. == History == Settlement of the region officially began around 1742, but may have begun as early as 1710. The name of the area was changed to "Hyde Park" around 1810. Previously, it was part of the Fauconnier Patent and was named "Stoutenburgh", after an early settler. Part of the town was from the Great Nine Partners Patent of 1697. Dr. John Bard had called his estate "Hyde Park" in honor of Edward Hyde, who was Lord Cornbury and governor of New York. In 1804 a tavern keeper whose business was slow named the tavern "Hyde Park Inn", much to the annoyance of Dr. Bard. Miller, the tavern keeper, applied for a post office to be located at his inn, which was nothing unusual. The request was granted as the "Hyde Park post office". Because the post office's name was "Hyde Park", and thus residents' mailing address was "Hyde Park", the area slowly started to be commonly called by that name. Finally, this caused a change of the settlement's name from Stoutenburgh to Hyde Park officially in 1812. Hyde Park was included in the town of Clinton until 1821, when the town of Hyde Park was formed. The Hyde Park Railroad Station was located at the mouth of Crum Elbow Creek along the Hudson River, and was used by many of the town residents, including the Roosevelts. In 1900, the town's population was 2,806. The town includes one of the many mansions of Frederick William Vanderbilt, now maintained as Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyde Park, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
