Barren Island, was originally an island off the southern end of the New York Cityborough of Brooklyn, in Jamaica Bay. The area is separated from the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens by the Rockaway Inlet. It once maintained a somewhat diverse community for its time, supported mainly by a fish rendering plant and other industries related to offal products. The island housed a plant that rendered horse bones (supplied from the streets of New York City, and elsewhere) into glue. This activity inspired the name Dead Horse Bay to the still extant water body on the western shore.
