Marble quarries from the second half of the 17th century until 1840. The area has now been either completely built-over by the modern-day area of Marble Hill, which is politically a part of Manhattan but physically attached to the Bronx; or submerged by construction of the Harlem Ship Canal, completed in 1895 and now known as the Harlem River (which separates Manhattan Island from the Bronx borough).

(NOTE: Latitude-longitude coordinates have been adjusted to reflect an estimated location, in Manhattan Borough, on the south side of Marble Hill. See Discussion Page. June 24, 2020.)
