		Gravesend was one of the original towns in the Dutch colony of New Netherland and became one of the six original towns of Kings County in colonial New York.
		Gravesend Town encompassed 7,000 acres in southern Kings County, including the entire island of Coney Island, which was originally the town's common lands on the Atlantic Ocean, divided up, as was the town itself, into 41 parcels for the original patentees.
		The current community of Gravesend is centered on the former village square centered at the intersection of [Gravesend] Neck Road and McDonald (formerly Gravesend) Avenue.

		At the outset of this era, New York County (Manhattan Island and part of the Bronx), Kings County (including the Cities of Brooklyn and Williamsburg) and Queens County were separate political entities.
		In 1898, New York, Kings and Richmond Counties, and parts of Queens and Westchester Counties and their constituent cities, towns, villages and hamlets were consolidated into the City of Greater New York.
		The three systems were unified and then operated by the City of New York through its Board of Transportation in 1940, which was succeeded in 1953 by the New York City Transit Authority, a state agency incorporated for the benefit of the city, now known to the public as MTA New York City Transit.

		In the space of a decade, it annexed the Town of New Lots in 1886, the Town of Flatbush, the Town of Gravesend, and the Town of New Utrecht in 1894, and the Town of Flatlands in 1896.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Gravesend Light \| David Payne
		Gravesend Light is an agile, deeply resonant story shot through with emotional insight and the most seamless fusion of ideas and action to come along in recent fiction.
		Because the better a writer is, the more likely he or she is to realize that his own personality is an inescapable lens through which his subject MUST be seen.
		But if you're writing for a newspaper, even The New York Times, chances are you're still operating off the 19th-century Newtonian assumption that truth is out there existing independently of you, and so you try to erase yourself and the writing, thereby, becomes less interesting and rich.

		For me, the suspense in "Gravesend" doesn't lie in wondering whether they'll find a way out but, rather, in wondering which one of them will find a way to behave honorably in an impossible situation from which there is no escape.
		He couldn't not be there; they were his Gravesend friends, and where they went he went and would always go, could not help but go, will forever go in Gravesend and beyond.
