Collect Pond was used as a terms of boundary for night watch duties in 1731 under John Montgomerie's charter during the British rule in New York City. [1]

The pond was home to a copious amount of fish, in fact legislation was passed in 1734 preventing the use of nets in the pond. This was prior to the extreme pollution to the pond, which included the dumping of dead animals. [2]
