Woodside, Queens, NY? It was the site of a British Army bivouac, during the struggle for Independence.

Yet, there's still another that's more famous, in Yorktown,NY: the French Army Bivouac at Pines Bridge.

If I must choose one, I shall go with the French, since 'bivouac' is a French word.

Ah! Major clue, indeed...for Warwick, NY!

Sometimes when there are multiple answers available, the game gets very difficult!
