The Evolution of Fort George

As the 19th century progressed, Fort George underwent significant changes. The construction of the Croton Aqueduct in the 1840s brought an influx of Irish and German immigrants to the area, who found work as laborers on the project. These immigrants settled in the neighborhood, establishing a vibrant and diverse community. In the early 20th century, Fort George became home to a large Jewish population, many of whom had fled persecution in Eastern Europe. The neighborhood’s Jewish community thrived, with numerous synagogues, schools, and businesses serving their needs.
