On November 25, 1783, the British Army and Navy evacuated New York, their
wartime headquarters and their last military position in the United States
during
the Revolutionary War.
As they sailed away in retreat through the Narrows separating Long Island and
Staten Island, the last thing they saw as their ships sunk below the horizon
was the Flag of the United States of America flying atop the Liberty Pole (an
extended flag pole) in the frontyard of the Dutch Reformed Church in the
Hamlet of New Utrecht, Town of New Utrecht, Kings County. Today this is the
neighborhood of Bensonhurst in the Borough of Brooklyn, New York City.
That Liberty Pole is the last remaining Liberty Pole, and come every Memorial
Day Weekend, there is a celebration in the frontyard of the Dutch Reformed
Church, now located on 18th Avenue and 84th Street in Bensonhurst.
