On August 14th of this year, the town of "Nieuw Haarlem" will celebrate its 350th anniversary. If you have ever visited the dense thicket on the northern end of the Manhattan island that is Inwood Park, you should have little difficulty imagining the forest that was encountered by the first Dutch colonists who made their way up the east river, settling in the area of present day 125th street .
