  • According to Wikipedia [EN] History Rodman's Neck is named after a local man, Samuel Rodman. It was originally named Anne's Hoeck after Anne Hutchinson, who was killed in a Native American massacre at nearby Split Rock. The southern tip, known as Pell's Point, is where the British landed during the Revolutionary War Battle of Pell's Point. Controversy Many residents of City Island have been complaining for years about the noise that comes from the gun firing, and detonation of weapons at Rodman's Neck, as they have a tendency to shake City Island and the houses on it. This issue has been addressed many times, most notably at a town hall meeting hosted by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at Public School 175 in March of 1998, where it was determined by city officials that there was no solution to the noise problem, as there would be no other practical venue for the NYPD range to be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodman%27s_Neck
