Arbitration Rock, Historical boundary marker between Brooklyn and Queens, New York, United States.
A large glacial boulder located in the backyard of the Van der Ende-Onderdonk House marks the former territorial line between two boroughs of New York City.
The rock was designated in 1769 by surveyor Peter Marschalk to resolve a century-long territorial dispute between the towns of Bushwick and Newtown.
The boulder represents the complex relationship between Dutch and English colonial settlements that shaped the early development of New York's territorial boundaries.
Visitors can explore this historical marker at the Van der Ende-Onderdonk House, where information about local history and border disputes is provided.
After being buried for decades during urban development in the 1930s, the rock was rediscovered in 2001 and relocated to its current position.
