Beyond Governor Stuyvesant's Great Bouery stretched swamps, woods, and clearings, until a little village was reached at the junction of the Haarlem and East rivers, which was called New Haarlem. Peter Stuyvesant made many improvements in the city of New Amsterdam.
His estate was called the Great Bouery, and there was a long and beautiful lane leading from the city to it, which was known as Bouery Lane our present Bowery. The Governor's house is supposed to have stood near Tenth Street, a little east of Third Avenue, now called Stuyvesant Place.
