Killcohook, Delaware
Killcohook, at Finn's Point, is one of two places in Delaware that shares a land border with New Jersey. The Twelve-Mile Circle, a colonial era agreement, defined the border of the 2 states as being along the low water mark on the New Jersey shore of the river. Later, the land on which the refuge lies falls was created by land fill and so it falls within Delaware territory. Killcohook consists primarily of marshland, and there was an emphasis on breeding of migratory waterfowl. The American Black Duck was singled out for protection in Killcohook. The U.S. Congress revoked its status as a wildlife refuge in 1998 by and currently it is being used as a disposal facility by the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
Population: 0
Comment: I like the wildlife refuge idea better than the dumping ground. I think that it should be developed somehow, maybe as a weird resort or secret town or something.
Marble Hill, Manhattan
Marble Hill is the northernmost neighborhood of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. Due to the re-routing of the Harlem River through the Harlem Ship Canal, it is politically part of Manhattan/New York County but it is located on the North American mainland and has a land border with The Bronx. It is rather small with a land area of just 0.1183 square miles.
Population: 8,463 (2010)
Population Density: 70,525 people per square mile.
Comment: I like the idea of an area of Manhattan which has single family homes.
