从JFK到纽约州Chappaqua town

黄安年文  黄安年的博客/2015年5月24日（美东时间）,北京时间5月25日发布

我们23日北京时间13时登机，14：10起飞，美东时间14:40分抵达JFK机场。办完进关手续并取出行李后,即由女儿驱车接我们回到Chappaquatown住地,这里是Westchester County的下州属地,镇不大但名声不小,尤其是希拉里和克林顿所住的镇。从JFK机场到Chappaquatown需要一个小时的里程稍多些，尤其是塞车时。23日美东时间是美国擦长周末的开始,路上车辆不是很多,除在白石桥收费站堵塞外,一路畅行,高速公路、州际公路和地方公路联成一体，尤其是地方公路等于在林中穿行。Chappaquatown以前来过两次,但是来这里住还是第一次,所以一切感到新鲜。

Westchester County is a county in the U.S. stateof New York.Westchester covers an area of 450 square miles(1,200 km²), consisting of 48 municipalities. According to the 2010 Census, the county had a populationof 949,113, estimated to have increased by 2.5% to 972,634 by 2014.^[1] Established in 1683, Westchester was named after the city of Chester,England.^[2][3] The countyseat of Westchester is the city of White Plains.

According to 2011 U.S. Census Bureau data, the per-capita incomein the county was $47,814 and the median income for a household in the countywas $77,006.^[4] In terms of household income, Westchester County is the fifth-wealthiestcounty in New York (after Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Rockland Counties) and is theforty-seventh wealthiest county nationally. WestchesterCounty ranks second after New York Countyin terms of highest median income per person, with a higher concentration ofincomes in smaller households.

The county's location places NewYork City, Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island,and the Long Island Sound to its south, Putnam County toits north, Fairfield County, Connecticut to itseast, and Rockland County as well as Bergen County, New Jersey across the HudsonRiver to the west. Westchester is thefirst suburban area of its scale in the world to develop, due mostly to theupper-middle class development of entire communities in the late 19th century,and the subsequent rapid population growth.^[5]

History[edit]

For more details on this topic, see History of Westchester County.

At the time of European contact in the 16th and 17thcenturies, the Native American inhabitants of present Westchester Countywere part of the Algonquian peoples, whose name for themselveswas Lenape,meaning the people. They called the region Lenapehoking,which consisted of the area around and between the Delawareand HudsonRivers. Several different tribes occupied the area, including The Manhattans,and the Weckquaesgeek and Siwanoy bands of the Wappinger inthe south, and Tankiteke, Sintsink and Kitchawank Wappinger in the north.

The first European explorers to visit the Westchesterarea were Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and HenryHudson in 1609. Dutch settlers began arriving in the 1620s, followed bysettlers from Englandin the 1640s. Westchester County was one of the original twelve counties of theProvince of New York, created by an act of theNew York General Assembly in 1683. At the time it included present day BronxCounty, and abutted then-DutchessCounty to the north. By 1775, Westchester was the richest and most populouscounty in the colony of New York.Although the Revolutionary War devastated the county, recovery after the warwas rapid. In 1788, five years after the end of the war, the county was dividedinto 20 towns. In 1798, the first federal census recorded apopulation of 24,000 for the county.

Two developments in the first half of the 19th century – theconstruction of the first Croton Dam and Aqueduct,and the coming of the railroad – had enormous impact on the growth of Westchester. The Croton Dam and Aqueduct was begun in1837 and completed in 1842; now a National Historic Landmark, the CrotonAqueduct is considered one of the great engineering achievements of the 19thcentury. In the 1840s, the first railroads were built in Westchester,and included the New York and Harlem Railroad, theHudson River Railroad,^[nb2] and the New York and New Haven Railroad.The railroads often determined the growth of a town, and the population shiftedfrom Northern to Southern Westchester. By 1860, the totalcounty population was 99,000, with the largest city being Yonkers.

The period following the American Civil War enabled entrepreneurs in the New York area to create fortunes, and many built largeestates, such as Lyndhurst, in Westchester.During the latter half of the 19th century, Westchester's transportation systemand labor force attracted a manufacturing base, particularly along the Hudson River and NepperhanCreek. In 1874, the western portion of the present BronxCounty, was transferred to New York County;and in 1895 the remainder of the present BronxCounty, was also transferred to New York County. These would later split from Manhattan to form theirown county.

During the 20th century, the rural character of Westchesterwould transform into the suburban county known today. The Bronx River Parkway, completed in 1925, was thefirst modern, multi-lane limited-access roadway in North America. The development of Westchester's parks and parkwaysystems supported existing communities and encouraged the establishment of newones, transforming the development pattern for Westchester.With the need for homes expanding after World WarII, multistory apartment houses appeared in the urbanized areas of thecounty, while the market for single-family houses continued to expand. By 1950,the total County population was 625,816. Major interstate highways wereconstructed in Westchester during the 1950sand 1960s. The establishment of these roadways, along with the construction ofthe Tappan Zee Bridge, led to further growth in thecounty.

Geography[edit]

Davids' Island off NewRochelle

Westchester County is located in southern New York. It shares itssouthern boundary with New York City and itsnorthern with Putnam County. It is bordered onthe west side by the Hudson River and on the east side by the Long Island Soundand Fairfield County, Connecticut.Accordingto the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total areaof 500 square miles (1,300 km²), of which 430 square miles (1,100 km²) is land and 69 square miles(180 km²) (14%) is water.^[6]

Where Pelham Manor meets PelhamBay Park in the Bronx, the southern border of Westchester is just under 11miles (18 km) from Columbus Circle in Manhattan. At over 2,700 acres (11 km²), Pelham Bay Park is the largest ofNew York City's parks, forming a substantial buffer between suburbanWestchester and the urban Bronx, while Van Cortlandt Park to the west acts as asimilar buffer.

Westchester's Long Island Sound shore is generally rocky, interspersed withtidalmud flats, marshesand wetlands,as well as several natural and artificially-maintained sandbeaches.Municipal and County owned parks provide access to beaches, nature preservesand passive and active waterfront recreational facilities. Several largeharbors lie along the shore including MiltonHarbor, MamaroneckHarbor, LarchmontHarbor, Echo Bay,and the upper and lower harbors in NewRochelle. A number of islands can be found offshore from New Rochelle. Davids' Island, the former location ofthe U.S. Army’s Fort Slocum, is currently unoccupied but is slated foruse as passive parkland; Glen Island is a Countypark; Huckleberry Island is largely undeveloped, and hasone of the largest rookeries in western Long Island Sound; Echo Island is usedby a private yacht club; Execution Rocks is the site of a 19th-centurylighthouse listed on the National Register of HistoricPlaces; Columbia, Pea, and Goose Islands areundeveloped; Clifford, Harrison and Tank Islands are part of a nature preserveand city park; while Oak and Pine Islands are used as private residences.

The widest section of the Hudson River, at 3.6 miles (6 km), is foundbetween the Westchester and Rockland County shorelinesimmediately north of Croton Point. In Colonial times, this area was called the Tappan Zee or Sea. The Hudson River is tidal and brackishthrough Westchester and contains a smallnumber of estuarine marshes. Two bridges span the Hudsonin Westchester: the Bear Mountain Bridge crosses at Cortlandt and the TappanZee Bridge at Tarrytown. Municipal, county and state-ownedparks provide access to waterfront landmarks and sites, including Croton Pointin Croton, Kingsland Point in Sleepy Hollow and JFK Memorial Marina in Yonkers.

The Hudson River waterfront in Westchesteris in a transitional period, converting from primarily industrial uses to mixedresidential, commercial, retail, and recreational uses. This transformation ismost notable in Yonkers, Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry,Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Ossining, and Peekskill,where redevelopment projects are in various stages of design and completion. In2004, the county began a project to create Westchester RiverWalk, a walkwayalong the Hudson River of 51.5 miles (80 km) which will provide pedestrianaccess between New York City and Putnam County.32.9 miles of the route are complete and accessible.^[7]

The New Croton Reservoir is the largest of many inthe county.

The KensicoDam in Valhalla

At 980 feet (300 m), thehighest elevation in the county is a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Surveybenchmark known as "Bailey" in Mountain LakesPark near the Connecticut state line. The lowest elevationis sea level, along both the Hudsonand Long Island Sound.

Westchester County is divided into sixprimary drainage basins or watersheds which are: the Upperand Lower Long Island Sound; and the Bronx, Upper Hudson, Lower Hudson, and Croton River  basins. Within these primary drainage basins areapproximately 60 smaller basins, or subwatersheds. The principal streamsdraining the southern part of the county include Beaver Swamp Brook, BlindBrook, BronxRiver, Hutchinson River, MamaroneckRiver, Saw Mill River, Sheldrake River, Stephenson Brookand Tibbetts Brook. The primary streams draining the central part of the countyinclude ByramRiver, Kisco River,MianusRiver, Mill River,PocanticoRiver and Silvermine River. The principalstreams draining the northern part of the county include Dickey Brook, FurnaceBrook, Hallocks Mill Brook, Hunter Brook, MuscootRiver, Peekskill Hollow Brook, and TiticusRiver. The county contains several major reservoirs; The Crotonsystem and the Kensico Reservoir are important components of theNew York Citywater supply system. The system is a series of interconnected reservoirs andlakes in northern Westchester and PutnamCounties that provide 10% of New York City’s waterunder normal conditions and up to 30% in times of drought. The components ofthe system include the New Croton Reservoir, the Cross River Reservoir, the TiticusReservoir, the Amawalk Reservoir, and the MuscootReservoir. Other major reservoirs are the Kensicoand Byram Lake Reservoir, while there are a number of smaller reservoirsthroughout the county.

The Westchester County Department of Planning divides the county into North,Central and South sub-regions.^[8]

Geology[edit]

The rock which underlies the Island of Manhattan andthe county of Westchester, is chiefly gneiss and mica-schist, with layersof dolomitic marbleand serpentine.

Climate[edit]

The climate of Westchester County is primarily regarded as humid continental (Koppen Dfa),and is somewhat cooler than the humid subtropical climate (Koppen Cfa)of New York City,^[9] sometimes by as much as 15 °F. Winters are cold throughout the countyand summers are hot inland but cooler towards the coast. Precipitation isplentiful and in some areas reaches over 45 inches. Snowfall is morecommon in Westchester than in New York  City, with the exception of the southwest of thecounty where snowfall is often between 40 and 60 inches . In January,less dense areas have a low of 16-18 °F and a high of 30–34 °F whiledense areas like Yonkers and White Plains have a low of 20–25 °F anda high of 35-40 °F. In the summer, this effect is much milder. Coastalareas (Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Rye, Port Chester) havehighs of 80–83 °F and lows of 62–66 °F, while inland highs will be84–86 °F and lows will be 60-66 °F.

Politics[edit]

Although the county historically leaned Republican, it swung Democratic inthe early 1990s – much like other New  York City suburbs. In the most recent nationalelections, Westchester voters tended to be farmore Democratic than the national average. In fact, Westchester, after New York City and Albany County, has produced the biggestmargins for statewide Democrats in recent years. Democratic voters are mainlyconcentrated in the southern and central parts of the county. More than 63percent of Westchester County voters voted for BarackObama in the 2008 presidential race, theseventh-highest percentage of any New  York county.

Currently, all three UScongressional representatives from Westchester County are Democrats. Nita Loweyand EliotEngel represent most of the county; Eliot Engel's district includes partsof the Bronx and Rockland County,and Nita Lowey's reaches into RocklandCounty. Westchester's third representative is freshman DemocratSean Patrick Maloney, a former advisor to BillClinton, who was elected in 2012, defeating Republican incumbent NanHayworth.

However, Westchester is less Democratic instate and local elections. For instance, it voted for Republican GeorgePataki, by a margin of 23.07% against Democratic candidate, Carl McCallin the gubernatorial race of 2002,and by 26.22% in 1998. Pataki hails from Westchester, where he previouslyserved as mayor of Peekskillprior to being elected governor.

Former County Executive Andrew Spano is just the second Democrat to hold thepost in at least a half-century. In 2006, county legislator Andrea Stewart-Cousins defeated 20-yearincumbent Nicholas Spano for a seat in the New York State Senate in a rematch of the2004 race, which she had lost by only 18 votes. His brother, Assembly Member Mike Spano,switched parties in July 2007 to become a Democrat. Current district attorneyJanet DiFiore also switched parties from Republican to Democrat in August 2007.In 2009, Republican Rob Astorino ousted three-term county executive Andy Spano,who had the endorsement of the New York Conservative Party, winning in alandslide. Astorino became the first Republican county executive since AndrewO'Rourke left the post in 1997. In 2011, the GOP broke the Democratictwo-thirds majority in the county legistature by picking uptwo seats. The current composition is ten Democrats to seven Republicans.

Westchester County was the home of US Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, who occupied the Kykuitmansion near the hamlet of Pocantico Hills.

The county is also home to US President BillClinton and Secretary of State HillaryClinton, who live in Chappaqua. Former First Lady BarbaraBush grew up in Rye.
