Middletown (New Rochelle)

An increase in population after the Revolutionary War warranted the further subdivision of the town into five road districts in 1787.

Jacob Coutant had a chair factory located west of North Avenue which was powered by water from Stephenson Brook which flowed into Huguenot Lake.

[5] A number of mechanics operated shops on their small farms, and in the vicinity of the present Fifth Avenue where the houses were quite close together.

[4] A school had been established just above the present Paine Avenue before the Revolution, and in 1809 it was removed to the junction of Eastchester Road.

By 1815 the' Middle School District' boundaries were laid out, significantly extending the town limits of "Middletown".
