History

edit
Rye Beach, early 20th century

Rye was once a part ofFairfield County,Connecticut,belonging to the Sachem Ponus, of the Ponus Wekuwuhm, Canaan Parish, and was probably named for that chieftain, "Peningoe Neck".[9]

It was founded in 1660 by three men: Thomas Studwell, Peter Disbrow and John Coe. Later landowners included John Budd and family.[10][11]

During the 19th and early 20th centuries it was a haven for wealthy Manhattanites who traveled by coach or boat to escape the city heat. Its location on Long Island Sound and numerous beaches also appealed to visitors with more moderate means who gravitated for short stays at cottages and waterfront hotels.[citation needed]

It has an extraordinary inventory of buildings with architectural distinction that help visually articulate specific neighborhoods and districts.[11]

Geography

edit

According to theUnited States Census Bureau,the city has a total area of 20.0 square miles (52 km2), of which 5.9 sq mi (15 km2) is land and 14.2 sq mi (37 km2) is water.[3]

Rye is "situated in the eastern part of central Westchester County on Long Island Sound. The western border of the City generally parallels Beaver Swamp Brook, while the eastern border is formed by Milton Harbor and the Sound. Blind Brook traverses the City from the northwest corner of Rye to Milton Harbor at the southern end."[11]

Rock and wetlands

edit

The geology and hydrology of Rye is characterized by a significant quantity of rock, marshes and wetlands[5]which makes the city both desirably scenic but also challenging for developers.

Rye's bedrock is predominantly constituted of Fordham gneiss and Harrison diorite also known as Byram Black granite.[12]

According to Rye's 1985 Master Plan, "Rye contains a variety of environmentally significant areas. Numerous tidal and freshwater wetlands are found near the waterfront and brooks. The Milton Harbor area (including the Marshlands Conservancy and Rye Golf Club), Disbrow Park and the Manursing area contain the most extensive wetlands in the City. In addition, substantial areas near the Sound, Milton Harbor, Blind Brook and Beaver Swamp Brook are within the 100 year flood hazard area, and thus subject to potential flooding."[5]According to the City of Rye, "Considerable acreage of these important natural resources has been lost or impaired by draining, dredging, filling, excavating, building, polluting and other acts inconsistent with the natural uses of such areas. Remaining wetlands are in jeopardy of being lost, despoiled or impaired by such acts contrary to the public safety and welfare." As a result, the city has charged itself with the responsibility of "preventing the despoilation and destruction of wetlands and watercourses while taking into account varying ecological, economic, recreational and aesthetic values. Activities that may damage wetlands or watercourses should be located on upland sites in such a manner as not to degrade these systems."[13]

In 2017, Rye resident and then New York State SenatorGeorge Latimernoted that wetlands maps for the area have not been updated in over 20 years[14]

Flooding

edit

Flooding has long been an issue in Rye as in other coastal towns with water coming in from Long Island Sound. TheBlind Brook watershedis also a source of that flooding with significant deluges recorded in the neighborhood of Indian Village after four days of rain in October 1975.[15]

Three major weather events in just five years produced catastrophic damage in the town.

  • Following major flooding in March 2007, theApril 2007 nor'eastersix weeks later left some homes in Rye with over five feet of floodwater.[16][17]
  • In 2011, the after effects ofHurricane Irenein August andHurricane Mariain September included swelling of Blind Brook and submersion of private and commercial properties including the Rye Nature Center, Indian Village, the Rye High football field, businesses on Purchase Street and homes on Milton and Highland Roads.[18]
  • Storm surges fromHurricane Sandyin 2012 resulted in evacuations of many coastal residences and facilities including the Milton firehouse.[19]

The city's response to these recurring hazards was to apply for funding through the NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program. Rye received $3,000,000 to safeguard the city against future flooding threats, upgrade its infrastructure for resiliency, identify stormwater mitigation solutions, and protect historic buildings and natural wetlands.[20][21]

Starting on September 1, 2021, Rye experienced another substantial flooding event. The storm lasted two days and caused significant damage to municipal facilities, businesses and residences.[22]Areas around Indian Village and other sections of the city that had previously flooded during Hurricane Irene were under 8–9 feet of water. Other areas around the town normally not affected by flooding were also affected. Prior to the flooding event, Rye had undergone approximately five inches of rainfall[23]fromHurricane Henri.[24]Two weeks later, the remnantsHurricane Idadropped another 8–9 inches of rain in the area within a 12-hour period.[25][26] Hurricane Ida remnants caused flooding in Rye nearly 10 years to the day from Hurricane Irene.

Rye Marshlands archaeological artifacts.

Archaeological significance and notable Indigenous sites

edit

As of 2010, seventy-five percent of the acreage in Rye or the equivalent of 3,954 acres had been determined to be archaeologically sensitive with many Indigenous andFirst Nationscontact sites.[27][28][29]At least two villages have been determined to have existed, one on Manursing Island and the other on today's Milton Point.[30]

The presence of Indigenous people's activities has been noted in numerous locations where implements and bones were unearthed, including an "ancient Indian burial ground, site of the present Playland Casino"[31]together with discoveries of artifacts along the shoreline,[32]pottery, skeletons and relics along Milton Road,[33][34]Disbrow Park[35]and throughout today's Boston Post Road Historic District including Marshlands Conservancy.

The presence of Indigenous people in Rye was more recently documented in a 2012 Phase IA archaeological investigation commissioned by Westchester County in connection with the construction of a bike path along the Playland Parkway in Rye. Within just one mile of the project site, the report noted a dozen archeologically sensitive areas. The publication included supporting data from files in the repositories of NYOPRHP and the NY State Museum; it further highlighted the existence of shell middens, evidence of camp sites and at least two burial grounds. One of these documented sites included the Blind Brook.[36]Additional findings have been made at the Jay Estate in archaeological digs conducted by Dr. Eugene Boesch[37]and submitted to the NY State Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS).

Master plan (1985)

edit

The city's current Master Plan guides the planning process. Also known as aComprehensive plan,it was authored 39 years ago with an expectation that it would be updated again in 2000. Attempts to revise the 1985 document with community input as recommended in NY State's Statute on Comprehensive Planning[75]were made in 2016 and 2017.[76]The review, which was aimed to reflect current conditions of growth and forecast future changes, was not completed. As of 2018,[77]Rye lagged behind almost all of the 43 municipalities in Westchester County in updating this "serious document".[78]

Failure to modernize the 1985 Master Plan on that schedule has produced concerns from residents about the lack of community consensus, lack of informed and coordinated regulation of development and the subsequent impacts including increased flooding and a higher than expected volume of teardowns. Other concerns include threats to historical resources, cultural resources, natural resources, sensitive coastal and environmental areas and numerous other negative repercussions on neighborhood character.[79][80]Previous Master Plans for Rye were created in 1929, 1945, and in 1963.

Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (1991)

edit

Rye is a coastal community with numerous sensitive wetlands and watercourses.[81]In 1991, the City of Rye adopted a comprehensive plan to further regulate land and water usage to protect and preserve these fragile resources.[8]

Sustainability plan (2013)

edit

In 2010, spurred by disastrous flooding events in 2007 and other environmental concerns, the Rye Sustainability Committee (RSC) was formed and tasked with creating a plan to inform best environmental and land stewardship practices for the city. A sustainability plan was formally adopted in December 2013[82]

The annualRye-Harrisonfootball game has been played for more than 80 years and is a top high school football rivalry in Westchester County. Rye High School's mascot is the "Garnets" a name given due to the abundance of the precious gem found during the school's construction.[84]
