Originally part of the 250-acre estate purchased by Major Joseph Delafield in 1829, the land was developed into a residential enclave starting in 1909. The neighborhood's layout was designed by engineer Albert E. Wheeler, who utilized a plan based on recommendations by Frederick Law Olmsted and James R. Croes.
