1646 CE

The uneasy truce with the Lenape allows for further settlement, including Constable Hook in 1646, based on a land grant to Jacob Jacobsen Roy, a chief gunner or constable in Fort Amsterdam in New Amsterdam.

The area, "Konstapel's Hoeck" in Dutch, takes its name from Roy's title.

Roy, however, never cultivates or settles on the land.
