What to Do in New Rochelle

The New Rochelle area was settled in 1688 by Huguenot refugees who named their community after their old home, La Rochelle, in France. New Rochelle grew quickly due to its healthy shipbuilding industry, its location as a key port of trade with New York City and other nearby harbors and its position on the strategic Boston Post Road, the major route to cities farther north.
