History

Though Peekskill's terrain and mills were beneficial to the Patriot cause, they also made tempting targets for British raids. The rock had a mass of 12.4 kg (27.3 lb) and punched through the trunk of Peekskill resident Michelle Knapp's red 1980 Chevrolet Malibu sedan as it struck. Officers at Peekskill generally supervised placing the first iron link chain between Bear Mountain and Anthony's Nose (Westchester) Nose in the spring of 1777.

It is situated on a bay along the east side of the Hudson River, across from Jones Point, New York Point.

New Amsterdam resident Jan Peeck made the first recorded contact with the Native Americans in the United States tribal people of this area, then identified as "Sachoes".
