Marker text:
"Joseph Ellicott, agent for the Holland Land Company, surveyed and laid out this Square in 1803-1804. The Square and streets radiating from it remain as originally planned for the Village of New Amsterdam."
Unfortunately, governmental administrations in the last half of the 20th century decided that building buildings was more important than keeping Ellicott's plan in place. Thus, several of the radiating streets are no longer continuous.
