The Rombout Patent was a grant issued by King James II of England in 1685 sanctioning the right of Francis Rombouts and his partners Gulian Verplanck and Jacobus Kip to own some {{convert|85000|acre|km2}} of land they had purchased from Native Americans. The Patent included most of what is today's southern Dutchess County, New York. HistoryRombout, a former mayor of New York City, had gone into the fur-trading business with Gulian Verplanck. A license for the pair to purchase an 85,000 acres tract of the Wappinger people land was granted by Governor Thomas Dongan, February 8, 1682.[1] They were joined in 1683 by Stephanus Van Cortlandt, the first native-born mayor of New York City and patroon of Van Cortlandt Manor in Westchester County, who offered to put up one-third of the money in return for a one-third interest in the parcel. Purchase was completed on August 8, 1683, the $1,250 or so price paid in guns, shot, powder, blankets, wampum, alcohol, cloth and other goods. Before a patent could be issued to the trio, however, Verplanck died, and his widow Henrica married Jacobus Kip. The patent was granted on October 17, 1685, with the Verplanck interest passing down through the Kip line.[1][2] MapsSee a period map of the Patent here at the Mount Julian Historical Site.
