Part IV : Somers Historical Tidbits
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons below or send tip via venmo at @Rich-Monetti Water Park In the mid 1800s, residents obviously owned horses and they even raced some of them at Nelson’s Racetrack near Woods Bridge. A day at the races wasn’t the only outlet either. The lot west of the Elephant Hotel once housed tennis courts, but leisure time aside, Somers entered the modern manufacturing age when the Empire Sewing Machine company was established in 1864. The reservoir system left the company in stitches, though. The upstream dam took away the plant’s water power, and the property was sold to Thomas Meade and Peter Muth. In turn, the duo sold the land to the St Joseph’s Normal College, and the structures were converted to classrooms and dorms. Unfortunately, New York City was still thirsty and gobbled up even more of the acreage. No longer did the college own the buildings, the college moved to Pocantico Hills, the cemetery relocated to Valhalla and the Statue of Our Lady of Lords landed at Manhattan College. Still, New York was done yet. The Amawalk Reservoir was created, which makes NYC the largest landowner in Somers. 3257 acres, the metropolis - as of 1988 - paid the majority of taxes and owned and maintained the bridges that needed to be built to accommodate the local transportation.
