Notes:

Located on Kings Highway (now Bristol Pike), the Red Lion was an important relay station for New York stage coaches from as early as 1726. During the Revolutionary war General Washington stayed here for one night while the army bivouacked on the hillside during their march on Yorktown in 1781. The inn was destroyed by fire in 1991.
