Nestled on Staten Island is Sandy Ground, one of the oldest continuously inhabited free Black settlements in the United States. Founded in the early 19th century by freed African Americans, this historic community became a thriving center of oyster harvesting, entrepreneurship, and culture. Sandy Ground was not only a place of opportunity but also a stop on the Underground Railroad. The people who lived here built a tight-knit, self-sustaining community despite the challenges of the time. Today, the Sandy Ground Historical Society works to preserve this legacy, offering a glimpse into the remarkable lives of those who shaped this historic settlement. Exploring Sandy Ground is a powerful way to connect with Staten Island’s role in the broader story of freedom and resilience in American history.
