Montrose Station. — Below Centieville a short distance is Montrose station, which, as mentioned be-fore, was built by Stephanus Hunt about 18(12. it was at first known as New Haverstraw, but the name proving unpopular, it was abandoned, and after one or two further changes, the present title was adopted.

Shedd, a noted Presbyterian divine, Professor in the Union Theological Seminary of New York, and the author of several standard religious works, is located on a high point near Montrose Station. It is a plain square mansion of brick. The view from the top of the house is one of the most beautiful and sweeping in the town of Cortlandt. A short distance from this station is located the Reformed Dutch Church. Veki'lanck's Point, — for which Montrose is the station, is located about three miles south of Peeks-kill, and about a mile west of the station. By the In-dians it was called Meahagh. It was bounded on the cast by the lands of Appamaghpogh and the creek Meanagh. on the south by the same creek, on the west by the Hudson River, and on the north by the creek Tamoeeie.
