In 1639, this 3300 acre island at the east end of Long Island, 6 miles long, 3 miles wide and has 27 miles of coastline in what is now New York State was settled by Lion Gardiner.

The island was made a proprietary colony, granted via a royal decree by Charles I that gave Gardiner “the right to possess the land forever.”

The descendants of Lion Gardiner still hold the 3,300-acre island, making Gardiners Island the oldest estate in the United States and the only royal grant from the English Crown still intact in the country.
