Mill Rock is a small uninhabited island between Manhattan and Queens in New York City. It lies about 1,000 feet off Manhattan's East 96th Street, south of Randalls and Wards Islands, where the East River and Harlem River converge. Mill Rock is located at Hell Gate, formerly an infamously treacherous area for ships to pass.
The island was originally two smaller islands when William Hallet bought them from the local tribes in 1664. In 1701, John Marsh built a mill on one of them and the islands came to be called Great Mill Rock and Little Mill Rock. The island was later squatted by Sandy Gibson, who operated a farm there from 1840 to 1898.
