The Maritje Kill is a tributary of the Hudson River in Hyde Park. Its source is three miles northeast of the village of Hyde Park, and it enters the Hudson at the campus of the Culinary Institute of America. The river's name uses an old Dutch version of the given name Marietje, meaning "little Mary". In 1936, Franklin Roosevelt wrote in a letter to Helen W. Reynolds that "Maritje Kill runs, as you know, right through our place. We have always called it by that name, but I do not know who the little Mary was." Reynolds was a friend and longtime collaborator with FDR, on local history; they were both founding members of the Dutchess County Historical Society. (source: Wikipedia)
