Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Inwood, Manhattan" in English language version.
Clam beds, clearings for cornfields and yearly fish runs made the north end of Manhattan the island's best place to live. A large Lenape (Delaware) town straddled the Bronx and Manhattan sides of the Harlem River. But when the Dutch and British colonists arrived in the 1600s, they brought war, disease, tax demands and farm animals that destroyed the Lenape's corn. The Lenape were eventually forced into Canada, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and further west, into Kansas, Ohio and Oklahoma.
