West Point Island History and Constitution Island Ownership

Before the Revolutionary War the island known as Martelaer's Rock changed hands from a French family. Fort Clinton and Fort Constitution were built to defend the Hudson, a massive iron chain blocked passage, and Kosciuszko led works costing 3 million dollars. Major André betrayed West Point at Tappan, Arnold plotted, and after the war West Point became a military depot. The Military Academy began in 1802, with land expanded to 2,200 acres by 1873. Repeated attempts to buy Constitution Island failed until Mrs. Sage and Miss Warner donated 175,000 dollars, averting an amusement park threat.
