Editing Tivoli, New York (section)

==History==
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples had lived in this area. The historic [[Mohican]] Native American tribe was living in the area now known as Tivoli at the time Dutch colonists arrived in the 1600s.<ref>http://www.native-languages.org/mohican.htm {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200713214022/http://www.native-languages.org/mohican.htm |date=July 13, 2020 }} “Native Languages of the Americas: Mohican (Mahican, Stockbridge, Wappinger).” ''Mohican Language and the Mohican Indian Nation (Wappinger, Mahican, Stockbridge Indians)''</ref> The Mohican derive from Lenni [[Lenape]] people who moved North from the coastal areas and settled in today’s Hudson Valley.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2c4pAQAAMAAJ&q=john+n+lewis+tivoli&pg=RA1-PA61 |title=Year Book of the Dutchess County Historical Society |last=Society |first=Dutchess County Historical |date=1971 |publisher=The Society |pages=61 |language=en |access-date=January 18, 2020 |archive-date=August 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200829143528/https://books.google.com/books?id=2c4pAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA61&lpg=RA1-PA61&dq=john+n+lewis+tivoli&hl=en#v=onepage&q=john%20n%20lewis%20tivoli&f=false |url-status=live}}</ref>  They lived along the Hudson River which they named ''Mahicannituck''. They originally called themselves the Muh-he-con-neok (The People of the Waters That Are Never Still). Based on their location, they were often referred to as the River Indians. Their name evolved in spelling over the years, including the name “Mahikan”, until it became today’s Mohican.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.mohican.com/mt-content/uploads/2015/10/a-brief-history-of-the-mohican-nation-stockbridge-munsee-band-2004.pdf |title=A Brief History of the Mohican Nation Stockbridge-Munsee Band |last=Davids |first=Dorothy |website=mohican.com |access-date=November 14, 2019 |archive-date=February 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200214010741/https://mohican.com/mt-content/uploads/2015/10/a-brief-history-of-the-mohican-nation-stockbridge-munsee-band-2004.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref>
  
A deed to land purchased by [[Robert Livingston the Elder|Robert Livingston]] from several Mahican Indians in July 1683,<ref>{{Cite book |title=From Homeland to New Land: A History of the Mahican Indians, 1600-1830 |last=STARNA |first=WILLIAM A. |date=2013 |publisher=University of Nebraska Press |doi=10.2307/j.ctt1ddr6w0 |isbn=9780803244955 |jstor=j.ctt1ddr6w0}}</ref> is the strongest evidence that the [[Roeliff Jansen Kill]] is considered to mark the downriver boundary of Mahican territory on the East side of the Hudson Valley. This land purchased would form the majority of the manor and lordship of Livingston. Historical accounts state that the settled land of Tivoli was purchased from Native American communities “legitimately” by Colonel David Schuyler on June 2, 1688, although no records of this transaction exist today. There is speculation as to whether or not the Mohican Tribe “fully understood European notions of land ownership." This transaction would have been a trade of goods in exchange for land. This deal was part of the [[Dutchess County, New York#The Patents|Schuyler Patent]], a June 1688 patent defining some of the towns and villages in Dutchess County and the Poughkeepsie regional area. The patent was obtained for land in the far North-West corner of Dutchess County, lying to the East of Magdalen Island (present-day Cruger Island).<ref>{{Cite book |title=From Homeland to New Land: A History of the Mahican Indians, 1600-1830 |last=STARNA |first=WILLIAM A. |date=2013 |publisher=University of Nebraska Press |doi=10.2307/j.ctt1ddr6w0 |isbn=9780803244955 |jstor=j.ctt1ddr6w0}}</ref> The North boundary of the patent abutted the Livingston Purchase of 1683.

The village was formerly known as "Upper Red Hook Landing". An adjacent community, "Madalin", was contiguous to Upper Red Hook Landing.

Peter Delabegarre &ndash; also known as Pierre de la Bigarre &ndash; purchased land along the [[Hudson River]] in the 1790s south of Chancellor [[Robert R. Livingston (chancellor)|Robert R. Livingston]]'s estate [[Clermont State Historic Site|Clermont]], in order to build a village he called "Tivoli"; the name was taken from  the location of the [[Tivoli, Lazio|Roman resort]]. His planned settlement was never built as he conceived it before he went bankrupt, but the name of Tivoli remained attached to the area.<ref name=times>Lasky, Julie (June 14, 2017) [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/realestate/tivoli-ny-authenticity-on-the-hudson.html "Tivoli, N.Y.: Authenticity on the Hudson"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402215409/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/realestate/tivoli-ny-authenticity-on-the-hudson.html |date=April 2, 2019 }} ''[[The New York Times]]''</ref>

The village of Tivoli was incorporated in 1872, consolidating Madalin and Upper Red Hook Landing.  The population at the time was 1,081.<ref name=brief>Moore, Lela (1921) [https://www.hrvh.org/utils/getdownloaditem/collection/bard/id/306/filename/307.pdf/mapsto/pdf ''A Brief History of Tivoli'' (pamphlet)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151003130028/http://www.hrvh.org/utils/getdownloaditem/collection/bard/id/306/filename/307.pdf/mapsto/pdf |date=October 3, 2015 }}</ref>

=== Rose Hill ===
Rose Hill, located on Rose Hill Lane off  Woods Road in Tivoli, New York, is an estate with a villa built in the Tuscan style in 1843 by [[John Watts de Peyster]]. The name Rose Hill comes from [[Rose Hill, Manhattan|the summer home in Upper Manhattan]] of de Peyster's grandfather, Watts, which in turn was named after the grandfather's estate near Edinburgh. After his death, it became the [[Leake and Watts Services|Leake and Watts Orphan House]]. The estate was bought in 1964 by [[Dorothy Day]] of the [[Catholic Worker Movement]], which operated it as a farm until 1978.  As of 2017, it was the home of painters [[Brice Marden|Brice]] and [[Helen Marden]], owners of the Hotel Tivoli.<ref>[http://www.historic-structures.com/ny/tivoli/rose_hill.php "Rose Hill, Tivoli, New York"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402225208/http://www.historic-structures.com/ny/tivoli/rose_hill.php |date=April 2, 2019 }} ''Historic Structures''</ref>
