- Description
- King's Bridge refers to a toll bridge across the Spuyten Duyvil Creek, which connected Manhattan Island to the southern part of Westchester County (present-day Bronx). The bridge was built in the late 17th century and was used heavily for transportation north of New York City throughout the colonial era. Although the King's Bridge does not exist anymore, the modern neighborhood of Kingsbridge in the Bronx still carries the name and marks the area that was once serviced by the bridge.
