This plaza is named for the surrounding neighborhood of Pleasant Plains. This area west of Prince’s Bay has also been known as the Plains and Eeltown. The development of the neighborhood dates back to the 1860s with the building of the Pleasant Plains station of the Staten Island Railroad. Pleasant Plains, primarily residential neighborhood, contains the one of the island’s largest cemeteries, the Cemetery of the Resurrection.
