What stands out to you? en-us 2018-01-09 12:56:52 UTC 2025-12-06 18:49:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220309556 Yonkers used to belong to the Native Americans. In 1609 Henry Hudson made his famous journey up this waterway and named it "The Great River of the mountains" as captain of the Half Moon, he reported his discovery to th Dutch West India Company, which sponsored his expedition to find a new sailing route to India. The first president of the city of Yonkers were native Americans of the algonquin,mohegan and manhatte tribes. In 1664, the english  claimed little to new netherlands, and renamed the region New York. In 1672, a large part of "The Yonkers" was purchased ]]> 2018-01-10 18:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220309556 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220309767 2018-01-10 18:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220309767 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310006        Yonkers has a very rich history. It was founded by the Native Americans in the 1600s but it was nicknamed  by Adrian Van Der Donck.
We want to know what happened to the Native Americans after they founded Yonkers. The first residents of Yonkers were the Native Americans of the Algonquin, Mohegan and Manhattes tribes.
       We think it's cool that we got this opportunity to do this fun project.

Yonkers was founded by the native Americans 
Henry Hudson came to the what is now the Hudson River and reported it to his sponsor Dutch west India company 
Adrian van Der donk acquired the colony of neperhan.van Der donk built the first saw mill.A large part of Yonkers was purchased by Fredrick phillipse.
Fedrick was involved in trading with the native americans]]> 2018-01-10 18:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310042 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310200    Yonkers has a wonderful history with people who helped make it the place it is today. The ways things changed with war and trades made a big impact on Yonkers. Some of the history also made us become a part of the county of westchester. Yonkers was actually founded by native Americans such as the Algonquin,Mohegan and man hatters tribes but then came the settlers who changed everything. Somehow the tribes disappeared when new people came]]> 2018-01-10 18:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310200 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310516 The things that happen in the past...
Keyla asks if the law stlil exists and do they divided Yonkers in to 16 counties?
 Anthony asks: they rename the Hudson River but now we have mta the metro north and we have now more advanced stuff now like iPhone x ps4 netendo switch and lot more so in the past they started to trade with the tribe but in the story they said that the tribe was not there anymore but how come they did say anything about plus the pictures say more about the history then any thing else but plus we 6th grandees can learn from this to but if you can go on some thing that has the internet]]> 2018-01-10 18:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310516 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310630 We think that its astonishing how something can change so quickly overtime we also think that it's cool how Yonkers has such a long and cool history. We were wondering how the natives suddenly vanished overtime at first we thought that maybe they vanished from a natural disaster but later we learned that they vanished from war which makes sense because this was near or at the time period when we were at war with the British.We think it's cool how we can look at the story and see the pictures of history and compare them to real life.Another thing we find cool is that we can learn history from where we live from an article and it makes us think what can happen in such short time so we start to think about what would happen in the future. We think it's awesome how all of Yonkers evolved when it comes to cars, the environment, and the lakes.]]> 2018-01-10 18:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220310630 https://padlet.com/kgn2109/6a3ebu1299xy/wish/220311037 Hi we are Maureen and Chelsea.

The first residents of Yonkers were native Americans of the Algonquin, Mohegan and Manhattes tribes. They had a village called nappeckamack and were located by the nepeta stream and Hudson River. When Henry Hudson explored this area, he started fur trading with the Indians along the Hudson River.

He named it (before) he actually named it DeYounker's Land and it then evolved from that point on. And from there people in Yonkers started inventing.
