French Camp 37 since departure from Williamsburg, Virginia, on July 1, 1782, was established on the same spot where the Continental Army had encamped in July 1781 on its way to the Phillipsburg encampment. From September 17-23, 1782, French forces, with Lauzun’s Legion nearest the Hudson, occupied the hills along the north side of Crompond Road between Washington Street and Lafayette Avenue.
