A channel named Little Hell Gate separated Randalls Island to the north from Wards Island to the south; the channel was filled by the early 1960s. A third, smaller island, <b>Sunken Meadow Island</b>, was located east of Randalls Island and was connected to it in 1955. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Lenape" title="Lenape">Lenape</a> Native Americans, who lived in the New York City area before European colonization, did not inhabit the islands. Between the 1630s and the 1770s, the islands had various European residents; the islands had the same owners in the 17th century, but ownership was split during the 18th century. Randalls and Wards Islands became known for their respective early-19th-century owners, Jonathan Randel and the Ward brothers. The city government took over both islands in the mid-19th century and developed numerous hospitals, asylums, and cemeteries there. Most of the existing buildings were demolished starting in the 1930s, when the <a href="/wiki/Triborough_Bridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Triborough Bridge">Triborough (now Robert F. Kennedy) Bridge</a>, two parks, and a <a href="/wiki/Sewage_treatment" title="Sewage treatment">wastewater treatment</a> plant were developed there. The islands have since been connected with each other, and various recreational facilities and institutions have been developed on both islands in the late 20th and the 21st centuries. </p><p>Most of Randalls and Wards Island is parkland with athletic fields, a driving range, greenways, playgrounds, picnic grounds, and the <a href="/wiki/Icahn_Stadium" title="Icahn Stadium">Icahn Stadium</a> track-and-field facility. The island is home to several public facilities, including a <a href="/wiki/Psychiatric_hospital" title="Psychiatric hospital">psychiatric hospital</a>, an addiction treatment facility, shelters, a fire training academy, <a href="/wiki/Police_station" title="Police station">police station</a>, and a <a href="/wiki/Sewage_treatment" title="Sewage treatment">wastewater treatment</a> plant.
