Hola and welcome back! It has been a while since we last “explored” a city, so today I thought we should “explore” Yonkers, New York.
Yonkers was founded in 1646 by a man named Adriaen Van der Donck. Donck had come to the United States from Breda, Netherlands.
Some of the first residents in Yonkers were Native Americans from the tribes of Algonquin, Mohegan, and Manhattes. The people of Yonkers weren’t really known for anything until 1853 when Otis Elevator was one of the first pioneers in making elevators.
Nowadays in Yonkers some places you can visit are LegoLand, Tibbetts Brook Park, The Hudson River Museum, Untermyer Gardens, and Alpine Lookout. I also included some pictures in the extras.
Well, that’s all for today! I will see you next time! Good bye!
