Football field at Roosevelt Island. Roosevelt Island only 240 meters wide and 3 miles long, was called by the Algonquin Indians as Minnahannock, until in 1647 he was bought by the governor Wouton Dutchman van twill that christened Island pigs. Already in the nineteenth century built a hospital for smallpox patients, a jail, a shelter for homeless and a lunatic asylum, which renamed it as Welfare Island (Island of Welfare). Currently, and after being renamed back to Roosevelt Island in 1973 and to obtain an urban reform designed by architects Philip Johnson and Burgee Hohn, houses a residential area for 9,500 inhabitants, with shops, restaurants, football, swimming and all necessary amenities.
