Planning notes for New York
Chelsea is a neighborhood on the West Side of Manhattan, bounded approximately by 14th Street to the south and 34th Street to the north. Its name originates from a 1750 estate established by retired British Major Thomas Clarke, who named the property after the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. During the 19th century, the area transitioned from a rural hamlet into an industrial and residential zone.
