Fort Westbrook, dating back to the American Revolution, still stands. The peaceful Lenni Lenape Indians were the first inhabitants. Chief Penhorn and his tribe inhabited about acres of fine natural meadow land on the east side of the Neversink River. In , William Tietsoort, the first European inhabitant in the valley, was asked to move here by the Lenni Lenape to build a blacksmith shop to make much needed tools. They were sturdy Dutch farming families and lived peacefully with the Lenni Lenape.

With the early rumblings of the French and Indian War,the local residents were asked to form a militia in preparation for the possibility of war.

This broke the trust of the Lenni Lenape who subsequently moved west to the Ohio Territory. They were not, however, to live in peace.

The recognition of our history is an ongoing part of our community. The only draw back is it is all pictures and not much detail to go with them. There is however enough detail to give you some history of the area and enough for you to do more research if you should be interested. It is a good value.

I already reviewed a similar book on Mamakating, NY. Great pictures, little text, but wonderful for family genealogists who can't visit every place their ancestors lived. Researching family who lived in Deerpark; didn't find specific people or homes but didn't really expect to; nice to have the context. See all 3 reviews.
