@builtmysteriestv: Central Park Isn't Natural. Every Hill and Lake Was Built. Central Park looks like nature that New York left alone. It's the opposite. The site was swamp and rock, so they blasted it, drained it, hauled in soil, and built 843 acres of "natural" landscape by hand. And about 1,600 people, including Seneca Village, were moved out to make room. #centralpark #NewYork #NYC #Engineering #Architecture #History #SenecaVillage #Olmsted #UrbanDesign

Were families ever compensated?

I had no idea. 😳 Did they at least pay the residents of Seneca Village so they could buy new homes/land?

AJLowe🇨🇦 :

Why does it say it was too rocky to build houses on yet say that there was Seneca Village there?
