Vinegar Hill gets its name from the Battle of Vinegar Hill during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Originally settled by the Irish, this community has maintained its 19th Century look while facing modernization and development from all sides. The area includes the Vinegar Hill Historic District and is home to the Con Edison Hudson Ave Substation. Cobblestones line the streets on Hudson Avenue, Plymouth, Water and Front Strees. On the corner of Evans and Little Streets, is the Commandant's house, a Federal Style Mansion which was home to Commodore Matthew C. Perry.
