The borough of the Bronx, 1639-1913; its marvelous development and historical surroundings. 134 THE BOROUGH OF THE BRONX Many residents of Manhattan are attracted to City Island on Sundays and holidays by the facilities for bathing, rowing and fishing. Many city dwellers spend the summer on the island in tents, while numerous clubs have their summer camps here. City Island is reached by train on the Suburban branch of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad to Bartow Sta- tion. Up to very recently there was an old fashioned bob-tailed. Old City Island Bridge horsecar which took passengers from the railroad station to Mar- shall's Corners at the end of Rodman's Neck for one fare of five cents, and to the end of the island, for another. This was replaced in 1910 by an electric monorail, which has not proved very suc- cessful. To the east of City Island lies Hart's Island, at one time owned by Oliver De Lancey, and later it passed into the possession of the Haights and Rodmans, then into the hands of John Hunter, and finally into the City of New York. To the north is High Island,.
