The Breakers was built between 1893 and 1895 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1843-1899), and was built in Newport because of the family's passion for yachting and the fact that Newport was the social pinnacle of America at the time (National; van der Bilt). The first Vanderbilts in America were a family of Dutch farmers who migrated to America in the latter half of the 17th century. They settled in New York, originally known as New Netherland, and not much is known about their early history. The Vanderbilt family made their fortune in railroads and shipping. Patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt established the family fortune by monopolizing steam-driven transportation to and from New York City, at first on water and later by rail. His heirs increased the wealth, and the family later produced leading names in high society, fashion, philanthropy, and the sporting life. Cornelius Vanderbilt (nicknamed "Commodore") was a steamship and railroad promoter and financier. At his death, he left the bulk of his $100 million fortune to his son, William, making him the richest man in the United States. Corneli
