The Croton Water Fountain

I a Native New Yorker
Proud of monument

This is a plaque dedicated to the site of the first fountain in 1842. This was the site of the first dependable water supply in New York City. It was supplied by water from the Croton Aquaduct. This plaque is easy to miss as it is placed in the footpath as you walk towards the Wall Street exit from the main fountain in the park.
