Planning notes for New York
Chelsea is a neighborhood on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City, bounded by 14th Street to the south and extending north toward 34th Street. The area originated in 1750 as a residential estate owned by Thomas Clarke, who named it after the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. Historical development continued under his grandson, Clement Clarke Moore, who subdivided the land into residential plots and donated property for the General Theological Seminary.
