Coney Island was once named "The Land Without Shadows," Henry Hudson had to retreat from an attack here and the man who created the Dreamland amusement park was a crook. All this and MORE.

2:13 It actully is named after the island in sligo, ireland wich is named coinín wich is the irish word for rabbit. It is named after the island because most irish imagrints emigrating because of the famine landed in coney island nyc and named it after the island they came from
No disrespect to you great vid keep it up

[@meetmeindreamland]

Interesting! I hadn't heard that interpretation.

[@JasperS.-wv3ig]

Bro hahahaha why not conyne eiland? Meaning rabbit island in dutch… like brooklyn means breukelen and harlem means haarlem. New york used to be new amsterdam.
But if you think it was the irish thats ok too 🤣
