Turtle Bay
 
Map of Neighborhood Local Schools
Turtle Bay, originally a 40 acre grant given to two Englishmen by the Dutch colonial governor of New Amsterdam in 1639 and was named after an actual bay that was filled in and is now the site of the United Nations Headquarters. Yet the actual name “Turtle Bay” is in some dispute. Some historians claim that it was due to the turtle filled creek that emptied into the East River bay, while others have asserted that it was merely a corruption of the Dutch word “Deutal”, meaning a bent blade that was used to describe the bays shape.
