Creator	[of reproduction] unknown
Date.Original	[of reproduction] unknown
Description	Reproduction of a map originally dated December 8, 1815 of the town of Red Hook, including what is now Tivoli and Annandale. The map's creator, John Cox Junior was Rhinebeck's town supervisor from 1808-1818. The map's inscription indicates that it was created at the request of Peter T.B. Myers, owner of the Saw Mill and Woolen Factory originally located at the present day bridge on Broadway from land survey completed by Alexander Thompson and Ben V. Steenbergh. Prior to the 1872 merger of Madalin and Tivoli, the upper village was known alternately as Madalin, Mechanicsville or Myersville--after Peter Myers. The area by the river was generally referred to Upper Red Hook Landing, or sometime's Contines or Cantines Landing, but came to be known as Tivoli, after Peter Labigarre's 1790's vision of a planned community.
