SENECA VILLAGE, N.Y.: TAKING A STROLL THROUGH HISTORY Located between 82nd and 89th streets and Seventh and Eighth avenues is Manhattans first community of prominent black property owners. The New York State census estimated that about 264 residents lived in Seneca Village between 1825 and 1857. The area consisted of three churches, a school and several cemeteries. All was razed -- and the history erased -- with the development of Central Park. Courtesy of The New-York Historical Society
