Bleakly during the last great Ice Age some 12,000 years ago, a crunching slurry of massive granite boulders, rocks and gravelly clay bruised down across the whole northern rim of America from Cape Cod to Washington State. One of the last great puddles of this terminal moraine (final downwash) settled as hillocks and sandy valleys across Long Island, ending at a cleft at what is now the East River. Fort Greene is a part of that “imported” land, stretching from Clinton Hill at the east down to the waterfront and Navy Yard at the west, opposite lower Manhattan.
