But none of our predecessors in historical investigation seem to have been sufficiently interested in the subject to conduct any exploration or to make any record of such traces, and so the long, sheltered shoreline with its desirable fishing facilities, from Corlears hook to 105th street, is devoid of definite native associations. III.— UPPER MANHATTAN PATHS (Maps IV and V) A"""lT 105TH street "a neck of land extended south of Harlem kill into East river, known as Rechewanis or Rechewas point (5), owned by the Reckgawawanc, and sold in 1669 by Reckgawack and others to De la Montagne.

The native village was known as "Konaande kongh" and was probably situated on the high ground between Madison and Lexington avenues at 98th to 100th streets. Access from the path, which ran in Central Park north of 88th street, was doubtless by a branch leaving the main trail near 95 th street and crossing Fifth avenue somewhere near 96th street. A study of the topography of the locality is presented in Map IV.

The name of this native station is recorded in the deed for the sale of Rechewanis in 1669, though it has been misapplied to Harlem creek.
