Castleton, Staten Island

It was located in the northeastern part of Staten Island prior to the incorporation of Staten Island into New York City in 1898.

It was originally set aside as the manor of the governor of the Province of New York and takes its name from the manor of Governor Thomas Dongan who named it for his home Castletown, in the town Kildrought (now Celbridge) in County Kildare, Ireland.
