Yorktown created Sylvan Glen Park Preserve which includes the Mohegan Quarry. Known initially as Mohegan Granite Co. but later as Grenci & Ellis, it operated a large quarry in Yorktown in 1890 to 1941. In the 1920s it employed 200 to 300 workers. At its peak it was the largest industry and employer in Yorktown. It provided high quality golden granite for many structures including The Cathedral of St. John Divine and many early Manhattan buildings.
