[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] The site of the present village of Sing Sing, is supposed to occupy partly the ground on which stood the ancient Indian settlement of Sing Sing, nearly 200 years since. The exis-tence of Indian habitations upon this particular spot, is amply proved by the vast number of shell beds, arrow heads and stone axes, still found in the neighborhood. Adriaen van der Donck in his Dutch map before referred to, styles the place Sin Sing, the same name now in use, with the exception of the single letter G. At an early period, Sing Sing appears to have been a favorite landing place for shipping the various marketable produce raised in the interior. There are now four landings, from which numerous steam-boats and vessels are constantly plying to and from the city of Isew York, a distance of 33 miles. This village was incorporated by an act of the legislature, passed A. D. 1813, afterwards amended May 15, 1837. The corporation at present, consists of a president, 7 trustees, (who must be freeholders) 3 assessors, clerk, collector, treasurer and 3 fire wardens. These officers are elected annually, on the first Monday in May, their official title being, " The Trustees of the village of Sing Sing." The village of Sing Sing contains several academies and schools; among the former, is the Mt. Pleasant academy, situated in State street. This institution was first founded by the inhabi-tants, A. D. 1814.
