Seneca Village - 1855 Census

1855 Census

In 1855, a New York State Census found that Seneca Village had 264 residents. At this time in New York City's history, most of the city's population lived below 14th Street, and the region above 59th Street was only sporadically developed and was semi-rural or rural in character. No one knows where the residents of Seneca Village resettled. Unfortunately, to date, no living descendants of Seneca Villagers have been found.
