One of Bayswater's early developers was William Trist Bailey, who had purchased the property and laid out the community circa 1878. [ [http://www.rootsweb.com/~nynassa2/rockaways.htm The Rockaways] . Accessed October 2, 2007."The Bayswater section was laid out about 1878 by William Trist Bailey, who purchased the property from J.B. and W. W. Cornell. The first Rockaway hunt with hounds started from this spot and the first yacht club was erected there."] Once the location of a number of summer hotels such as the Elstone Park and the Sunset Lodge, Bayswater is now a year-round residential neighborhood. Bayswater has a diverse population with large numbers of African American and Orthodox Jewish residents.
