Notation - The County of Yorkshire in North Riding DOES NOT refer to Yorkshire in England. On August 29, 1664 the Duke of York's forces captured New Amsterdam from the Dutch as part of their conquest of New Netherland. They renamed New Amsterdam as the Province of New York. Like the original Yorkshire in England for which it was named, Yorkshire, New York was divided into three ridings: East, West and North. New York's East Riding consisted of modern Suffolk County, its West Riding Staten Island, modern Brooklyn and modern Elmhurst, Queens (also known as Newtown) and its North Riding the rest of modern Queens, Nassau County, Westchester County and the Bronx. Hempstead at this time was in that part of Queens County in the greater North Riding of Yorkshire , New York. On November 1, 1683, Yorkshire, New York was eliminated, and the three ridings were converted into the Counties of Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, and Westchester. Note that this Deed is dated before 1683, it was only after that date that Hempstead became part of Queens County, and then in 1899 became part of the new County of Nassau County.
