Located on the north shore of Staten Island and bordering on the Kill van Kull, Factoryville was first shown on a map in 1836, and subsequently appeared on maps of 1850, 1859, and 1860. Its post office was known as North Shore but was changed to West New Brighton in 1871.

In this view of the village and county seat from Latourette Hill are the third Richmond County Court House, built in 1837, and, at the right, St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church, built in 1709-12 and enlarged in 1743, 1770, and 1807. It was destroyed by fire in 1867.

Mariners' Harbor wasa prosperous nineteenth-century fisherman's community on the north shore of State Insland and a home for oystermen who made their living in the nearby waters and resided along the Kill van Kull.

This is one of a set of twelve watercolors commissioned by James Hazen Hyde (1876-1959) of Mr. Hyde's four-horse coach "Liberty" that depicts scenes along the road on the 1903 run between New York and Lakewood.

The sketches represent students and others on the premises in various poses of study and daily activity.
