Sunday Bandstand 20 November 2022
Manhattan Beach was created by real estate developer Austin Corbin (1827-1896) in 1877 as a self-contained summer resort on 500 acres of salt marsh, the eastern peninsula of what was once Coney Island. Visitors stayed at the Oriental Hotel and the Manhattan Beach Hotel and attended concerts by bandmaster John Philip Sousa (1854–1932) who composed the Manhattan Beach march in 1893, to commemorate the resort. Corbin was the president of the Long Island Railroad from 1880 until his death.
The opening of amusement parks coupled with the closing of racetracks in 1910, in nearby Coney Island, which led to the swift decline of the hotels. Residential development began in the area in 1907, redefining the character of the neighbourhood.
Today, Manhattan Beach, whose streets are arranged in alphabetical order from Amherst to Pembroke and named after places in England, is home to approximately 7,000 people. The land on this site was originally acquired by the Federal Government in 1942 for a Coast Guard and Maritime Training Station. After eight years of negotiations, this 16-acre waterfront property was transferred to New York State. It was turned over to the City for park purposes in 1951. An additional 24.4 acres were acquired in 1954. The park opened to the public on July 15, 1955 and was welcomed as an alternative to the crowded beaches of Coney Island.
We are featuring this well-known Sousa march arranged by C.W.Hewitt on this week’s show played by the Williams Fairey Band conducted by Major Peter Parkes in 1996.
Enjoy
