"Fascinating! I plan to keep that and look a little further into it. Was it
to provide a better environment for Jews, or did it have a more sinister
purpose? Anyone else interested in researching this a bit?"
It was to provide a way out of the over-crowded tenements by offering the
opportunity to be farmers. I believe that the largest such "area" that was
developed in this manner in the NYC metro area was in southern New Jersey, in
the vicinity of Toms River.
