Made on the Kill Van Kull

The Kill Van Kull was an important waterway going back to the 1700s. Villages soon developed where ferries had begun operating. Nineteenth-century industrial inventions and innovations brought economic changes to Staten Island around 1818 when a dye house and printing works was established in West New Brighton. The New-York Dyeing and Printing Establishment was soon followed by an array of companies from Mariner’s Harbor to New Brighton. Flour, paint, soap, gypsum board, ships, ferries, and more were manufactured along the Kill Van Kull. Even a whaling company-operated! Discover the stories behind these enterprises during “Made on the Kill Van Kull.” This lecture by historian Patricia Salmon originally aired on December 4, 2020.
