The Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan is the area between 23rd and 34th streets to the east of 3rd Avenue. It was named after a 17th century Dutch farmer called Jacobus Kip. His farm ran from Second Avenue and 35th street to the East River. At that time, the river formed a bay which was named for him. This bay was later filled in, yet remains in the name of the area.
Kips Bay was also the site of a battle of the American Revolutionary War that left New York City in the hands of the British.
