Kips Bay, 28th Street Between Third and Second Avenues

I have crossed Third Avenue, so we are now in Kips Bay, according to Wikipedia. Kips Bay is named for the Dutch farmer, Jacobus Kip, who had a farm in this area when New York was New Amsterdam. It ran from Second Avenue and 35th Street to the East River, which, at that time, formed a bay. Ergo, Kips Bay. Wikipedia is undecided whether or not to use an apostrophe with Kips (Kip's), so sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I decided to omit the apostrophe at all times because it is easier, although incorrect.
