Getting to know the area

Greenwich Village is a largely residential area that you can stay in with your car rental Queens. It can be found on the west side of Lower Manhattan.

The neighborhood is bordered by Broadway to the east, 7th Avenue to the west, Houston Street to the south, and 14th Street to the north. The East Village, SoHo, Hudson Square, and Chelsea are all neighborhoods that are close by, and easily accessible.

Greenwich history

The area that is now Greenwich Village was once marshland. In the 16th century, Natives referred to the area as tobacco field, until the land was cleared and turned into a pasture by the Dutch and freed African settlers. When the English took over the island, the area was developed into a Hamlet that was separate from the fast-growing New York City. It is hard to believe this was once a village separate from the rest of the city. In 1822, a yellow fever epidemic in New York encouraged some of the residents to move to the area, and they stayed.
