THE DUTCH VILLAGE
The historic development of Harlem began with an Indian village on the banks of the Hudson River, between 110th and 125th Streets. Attracted by the fertility of the soil and the ease with which the area could be defended as a military outpost, settlers incorporated the Village of Harlem in 1658 under Dutch rule. By 1661, the farming community had 32 adult men — most of them heads of families — and a contingent of soldiers paid to protect and help build the village.
In 1672, slaves built the first road from lower Manhattan to Harlem over an old Indian trail known today as Broadway. With transportation to downtown New York chiefly by riverboat, the new village developed its economic base centered around the farmer's market, tavern and ferry house in the vicinity of 125th Street and the Harlem River. A gateway to Harlem developed at Central Park North and Lenox and St. Nicholas Avenues in the early 1700s, as way stations were built to accommodate travelers from New York.

Prior to the American Revolution of 1776, the community was quietly becoming a choice area for gentlemen farmers to build country estates and wealthy merchants to build elegant houses. The Morris-Jumel Mansion, designated a landmark in 1967, was built in 1765. This Georgian country house at 160th Street and Edgecombe Avenue served as General George Washington's headquarters during the War of Independence.

The Dutch permanently ceded New York to the British in late 1600 (1674?).

What was the census (Nationalities) back then? You'll have to research that info.
