Chatterton Hill (Battle of White Plains Site)

The dominant terrain feature of the Battle of White Plains, a ridge west of the Bronx River that formed the American right flank. The British assault on Chatterton Hill on October 28, 1776, was the battle's decisive action — Hessian and British infantry crossed the Bronx River and climbed the ridge from two sides, eventually forcing the American defenders to withdraw. The hill is partially preserved and accessible.
