In the New World settlement of New Amsterdam, we see Greenwich, one of the Dutch names for the village (meaning “Green District”), a rural, isolated hamlet to the north of the 17th century settlement. After the English overthrow in 1633, it was Anglicized to Greenwich in 1696.

Greenwich is a destination in its own right. While only a short train ride away from New York City, Greenwich, Connecticut offers a wide array of fun activities, attractions, and events for visitors. Most downtown attractions and activities are just a short ride from The J House: Bruce Museum.

The line itself divided the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth - just as the Equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres.
