Knickerbocker Ice Company
The Knickerbocker Ice Company was an ice company based in New York State during the 19th century.
==Early history==

Knickerbocker Ice Company, an Ice trade company, was founded by John J. Felter, John G. Perry, and Edward Felter in 1831 on the eastern bank of Rockland Lake in the hamlets of Congers and Valley Cottage in Rockland County, New York. It rapidly became a commercial success because it was the cleanest and purest ice of the Hudson River Valley region. Icehouses could be found along the Hudson River and on lakes from the Catskills to Albany making the Hudson River Valley the largest producer of ice in the area.〔Weerheim, Gretchen (2009). "Winter's Bounty: the Story of the Knickerbocker Ice Company and Rockland Lake."〕 Aware of the purity of the ice, numerous companies purchased land around Rockland Lake hoping to gain complete control of the lake.
In 1855, the Knickerbocker Ice Company was incorporated from the consolidation of the surrounding companies, which each brought valuable techniques to improve the harvesting of ice. When the gravity rail was built in 1856 and purchased its former rival, the Washington Ice Company, as a tow company in 1869 then purchased the entire company for the then astronomical sum of $1.1 million.
