Off the coast of the Bronx, two unassuming islands rise from the water. These are The Blauzes. They sit quietly in City Island Harbor, part of a reef extending northwest from Hart Island. The Blauzes are small, formed from Manhattan schist bedrock. This gives them a subtle bluish tint, hence their name. “The Blauzes” translates to “Little Blue Ones” in Dutch. It’s a name given by the Belgian Huguenots who first settled this area. Locals, however, have a more humorous nickname for The Blauzes. They call them the “Blue Breasts” due to their rounded shape. The Blauzes are part of the Pelham Islands. They might appear insignificant at first glance. Yet these small islands hold a unique piece of New York’s history, a quiet reminder of the city’s diverse past.
