The area known as Hudson's Square, now considered the northern part of Tribeca, was first laid-out in the late 18th century. St. John's Church was built in 1803. Here Hudson Square is bounded by Beach, Laight, Hudson and Varick Streets, the latter named for the patriot and long serving mayor of New York Richard Varick (mayor from 1789 to 1801). St. John's Church is at the top of the square and the buildings around the square are owned by fashionable names of the period: Lispenard, Murray, Bayard, Church, Moore and Rufus King.
