Manhattan from Roosevelt Island,

The island was originally known as 'Long Island' by native Americans, 'Hogs Island' by the Dutch, 'Blackwell Island' by its 1676 English owners, 'Welfare Island' in 1921 and finally Roosevelt Island in 1972.

Since 1828, the island has been owned by New York City who purchased it from the Blackwell family for $32,500.
