The area and park are named for the artillery batteries that were positioned there in the city's early years to protect the settlement behind them.Battery Park City was named after the area.
In 2015, the New York City Department of Parks and the Battery Conservancy announced that the park would revert to its historic name, The Battery.
History
The southern shoreline of Manhattan Island had long been known as "The Battery," and has been a popular promenade since the 17th century. At the time, an artillery battery there served as protection to the town. The Battery was the center of Evacuation Day celebrations commemorating the departure of the last British troops in the United States after the American Revolutionary War. Just prior to the War of 1812, the West Battery, later renamed Castle Clinton, was erected on a small artificial offshore island nearby, to replace the earlier batteries in the area; later, when the land of Battery Park was created, it encircled and incorporated the island.
The park was named for the artillery stationed there by American forces during the War of 1812. On August 13, 1813, American gunners, aided by the USSPresident, successfully defended their position against an attack by a British squadron led by Lt Colonel John Murray.
The park land was deeded to the City of Burlington in 1870, and the Battery Park Extension was added to the southern end in 1972.
Trivia
Because of its unobstructed view high above Burlingon's harbor, Battery Park is a very popular spot for observers of the Independence Day fireworks launched from a barge in the bay.
According to noted author Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book), Battery Park has one of the two finest sunset views in the world.
The Battery is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina. Named for a civil-war coastal defense artillery battery at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston harbor. Historically, it has been understood to extend from the beginning of the seawall at the site of the former Omar Shrine Temple (40-44 East Bay Street) to the intersection of what is now Murray Boulevard and King Street. The higher part of the promenade, paralleling East Battery, as the street is known south of Water Street, to the intersection of Murray Boulevard, is known as High Battery. Fort Sumter is visible from the Cooper River side (High Battery) and from the point, as are Castle Pinckney, the World War IIaircraft carrierUSS Yorktown (CV-10), Fort Moultrie, and Sullivan's Island.
Battery Park is a public park in New Castle, Delaware bordered by West 3rd Street, Delaware Street and the Delaware River. The Separation Day celebration commemorating the political division of Delaware from Pennsylvania is held here in mid-June annually.
Battery Park is an American comedy television series starring Elizabeth Perkins and Justin Louis. The series premiered Thursday March 23, 2000 at 9:30 p.m Eastern time on NBC. The show was cancelled after four episodes. The series was about a police department.
Henry Winkler had received an Emmy nomination for 'Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy' for his appearance in the episode Walter's Rib, but after a newspaper reporter pointed out that the episode had been postponed to June from an earlier scheduled airdate and therefore missed the Emmy's May 31st deadline, the nomination was withdrawn.
New York is a great city to visit. With its tall buildings and rich history, its the perfect place to witness various types of city design. One of my favorite is Battery Park, or "The Battery". Located at the southern tip of Manhattan, the park is a very calm and relaxing place to visit. But aside from its beauty, Battery Park is also a perfect example of reusing a space in a way thats different from its intention.
In this video I briefly discuss the history of Battery Park, and why its a must see for any New York Trip!
