Annadale is part of Staten Island's South Shore, which its community board calls the island's "last frontier": a rural character that has drawn rapid population growth and a surge of new homes. Source
Annadale took its name around 1860 from Anna Seguine, a descendant of the French Huguenots who were among the South Shore's earliest settlers; neighboring Huguenot is named for the same settlers. Source
Annadale lies in the Special South Richmond Development District, whose zoning rules aim to keep new building from destroying lakes, ponds, streams, beaches and natural vegetation, and to limit disruption of the land, trees and other natural features. Source
Woodrow holds Sandy Ground, where free Black families, many working in the oyster trade, lived in more than 50 houses from the 1840s into the early 20th century. Its Rossville AME Zion Church, built in 1897 at 584 Bloomingdale Road, is a city landmark and still in use. Source
