Castle Island (New York)

[1]) The land known as Castle Island has been connected to the mainland and now forms a part of the Port of Albany.

From 1909 to 1928, Castle Island—then known as Westerlo Island—was the site of the Quentin Roosevelt Field, the precursor to the Albany International Airport.

In 1932, Westerlo Island was opened as the Port of Albany, along with 35 acres (140,000 m2) in the city of Rensselaer.

The Canadian Pacific Railway's Kenwood Yard and railroad tracks sit on the site of the original creek.

The land along the Hudson River and north of the Normans Kill within the town of Bethlehem was once Cabbage Island.
