Starin's Glen Island was a summer resort in the community of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York, developed by former U.S. Congressman John H. Starin in the late 1800s. Starin's resort, referred to as ''"America's pleasure grounds"''〔''Starin's Glen Island. Long Island Sound. A Day Summer Resort. ... 1881 ... Most Attractive Day Summer Resort in America''. (York ): Donaldson Brothers, Five Points, N.Y., 1881.〕 and "Disneyworld on the Sound",〔(''Westchester: The American suburb'' ), Jackson, K. T., & Panetta, R. G. (2006). New York, NY: Fordham University Press.〕 was the first theme park in the country.〔(New Rochelle History: 1861-1879 timeline ), City of New Rochelle website〕 The park's original design exhibited the five cultures of the western world on individual islands linked together with piers and causeways.〔(''Amusement Parks of New York'' ), page. 24〕 The extreme popularity of the park resulted in a building boom in New Rochelle in the first decade of the twentieth century.〔 The resort was located on Glen Island in New Rochelle's Lower Harbor just off of Long Island Sound. The island is situated between Davids', Neptune and Travers Islands in New Rochelle, and Hunter Island in nearby New York City. Although now one island, the site originally consisted of one large main island in close proximity to at least four smaller nearby islands and a number of rocky outcroppings and low lying flats and salt-marshes. ==History==
