Major Thomas Clarke bought the land in 1750 and named it after London's Royal Hospital Chelsea, and his grandson Clement Clarke Moore gave his apple orchard for the General Theological Seminary in 1827 and split the estate into lots. The High Line, an elevated freight line from the 1930s, reopened as a park in stages from 2009, and art galleries gathered in West Chelsea from the late 1990s. Hudson Yards, named for a rail yard, was rezoned in 2005, and the 7 train reached it in 2015.
