In the marina there is a monument and a plaque with the 151 Huguenot names for the original families when the city was founded in the 1680s

Interesting. My last name descends from a Huguenot settler in New Netherlands in 1645. He eventually became a Dutch Reform pastor in Staten Island. My father was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and apparently my last name had a certain cachet in that town a hundred years ago.
