History
The Battle of Long Island, one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution War, was fought in 1776 along the ridge now in Forest Park (Queens) Park, near what is now the golf course clubhouse. Many of the Queen Anne Style architecture Anne Victorian homes of old Richmond Hill still stand in the area today. Protected by its thickly wooded area, American riflemen used guerrilla warfare tactics to attack and defeat the Hessian (soldiers)
Richmond Hill's name was inspired either by a suburban town near London, England, or because of Edward Richmond, a landscape architect in the mid-1800s who designed much of the neighborhood. The area is well known for its large-frame single family houses, many of which have been preserved since the turn of the twentieth century. Man bought the Lefferts and Welling farms, and hired Richmond to lay out the community.
