Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882, in [[Hyde Park, New York]], to businessman [[James Roosevelt I]] and his second wife, [[Sara Ann Delano]]. His parents, who were sixth cousins,{{Sfn|Burns|1956|p=7}} came from wealthy, established New York families—the [[Roosevelt family|Roosevelts]], the [[William Henry Aspinwall|Aspinwalls]] and the [[Delano family|Delanos]], respectively—and resided at [[Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site|Springwood]], a large estate south of Hyde Park's historic center.{{Sfn|Smith|2007|pp=5–6}} Franklin's father, James, was a prominent [[Bourbon Democrat]] who once took him to meet President [[Grover Cleveland]]. During this meeting, Cleveland said: "My little man, I am making a strange wish for you. It is that you may never be President of the United States."{{sfn|Leuchtenburg|2015|p=16}} Franklin's mother Sara, the dominant influence in his early years, once declared, "My son Franklin is a Delano, not a Roosevelt at all."{{Sfn|Burns|1956|p=7}}{{Sfn|Lash|1971|p=111}} James, who was 54 when Franklin was born, was considered by some as a remote father, though biographer [[James MacGregor Burns]] indicates James interacted with his son more than was typical at the time.{{Sfn|Burns|1956|p=4}} Franklin had a half-brother, [[James Roosevelt Roosevelt|James Roosevelt "Rosy" Roosevelt]], from his father's previous marriage.{{Sfn|Smith|2007|pp=5–6}}
