History

"Canarsie" is a phonetic interpretation of a word in the Lenape language for "fenced land" or "fort." The Native Americans who made the infamous sale of the island of Manhattan for 60 guilders were Lenape. Europeans would often refer to the indigenous people living in an area by the local place-name, and so reference may be found in contemporary documents to "Canarsee Indians." The current neighborhood lies within the former town of Flatlands, one of the five original Dutch towns on Long Island.

Canarsie was built on swamps near Jamaica Bay. It was a fishing village through the 1800s, until pollution killed the oysters and the edible fish. In the 1920s, Italians settled in the area, later joined by Jews. Ferry service withered away after the building of the Marine Parkway Bridge. During the 1980's, increasing crime and lower quality of life drove many of Canarsie's white population to move to Staten Island, Queens, and Long Island. This phenomenon was called by many as 'white flight'. Today, Canarsie's population is mostly Black with many West Indians and African-American. ^[2] Jamaica Bay is a bay that lies in the shadow of New York Citys skyscrapers and is adjacent to one of the nations busiest airports. ...

Schools

Trivia

• The neighborhood of Canarsie was referenced twice in two of the original, classic "The Honeymooners" episodes. Because Canarsie was not truly developed when these episodes aired, this prompted Ed to proclaim, when Ralph wasn't going to bowl in the big tournament because of a company physical the following morning, that "Eddie Mullen's mom is coming in all the way from Canarsie. Too bad she has to travel so far just to see her son lose." (This line is especially poignant given the fact that Canarsie and Bensonhurst--where the Kramdens and Nortons lived--are just a few short miles apart, but due to Canarsie's rural nature at the time, it was considered "the sticks.")
  • Another Honeymooners episode had Norton commenting that a reporter once asked him, "Which do you prefer? The Canarsie or Weehawken [New Jersey] style of Mambo?"
• "By way of Canarsie" was a middle 20th century American English figure of speech meaning coming to your destination by a roundabout way or from a distant point. Presumably arising when the Wilson Avenue Line was a principal route to Canarsie Landing, it is not commonly used today. ^[6].
• Frank Zappa's instrumental album box Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar includes a piece called "Canarsie". It is introduced with the words: "Canarsie. Where everyone looks the same."
• Was also mentioned in the song "Meet Cleofis Randolph The Patriarch" on Deltron 3030's self-titled debut album.
