	Harlem River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harlem River is a tidal strait in New York City, USA that flows eight miles between the East River and the Hudson River, separating the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
		Part of the current course of the Harlem River is the Harlem River Ship Canal, which runs somewhat south of the former course of the river, isolating a small portion of Manhattan (Marble Hill) on the Bronx side of the river.
		The Harlem River was the traditional rowing course for New York, analogous to the Charles River in Boston and the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.

	Abandoned Stations : Harlem
		The Harlem station in open cut was constructed by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1873-1874 as part of the Park Avenue Improvement.
		Harlem service was greatly expanded in May 1876 by the rapid transit service operated to Williams Bridge, which with the main Harlem Division services amounted to about an hourly service to Grand Central.
		A plan to open the Harlem River to navigation took hold in the late 1880's, culminating in the opening in 1895 of the Ship Canal at 225 St that provided a deep water connection to the Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Hudson River.

	History and Significance of the Northern Area
		With the building of the Harlem River Ship Canal in 1895, Marble Hill became a complete island, surrounded by the Harlem River to the south and the Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the north.
		The Spuyten Duyvil Creek connected the Hudson River with the Harlem River and defined the north shore of Manhattan until the Harlem River Ship Canal was built in 1895.
		Through its bold use of material and its location overlooking the Harlem River Ship Canal, with views of Inwood Hill Park, the Ginsbern-designed apartment building on 135 West 225th Street defines the corner of 225th Street and Jacobus Place and constitutes a landmark in the sense that it is an identifying point of reference.

	Early New York - When Harlem Was A Village
		In part it followed the line of Harlem Creek, a tributary to the river of that name at its mouth, and was solidly built of stone, with handsomely constructed locks.
		Altogether, it is a pleasant remembrance which I have of ancient Harlem, even down to the remarkable old hotel at the river's edge, just west of the bridge, where we went to hire a boat for fishing, and rented one for half a day for a shilling.
		I found that Harlem had grown in size with the advent of the horse-cars, and had put on some fresh architectural frills, but the old toll-bridge was there, more rickety than ever, and the old inn by the river-side, more shabby and shambling than in former years.

	History and Significance of the Harlem River
		About 6,000 years ago the Hudson River emptied into the ancient Atlantic Ocean, depositing sediments over the bedrock; this resulted in the formation of the Hudson River estuary, which is the water and land at the mouth the river that contains a mixture of salt and freshwater.
		The Harlem River is therefore affected by the actions of the ocean and neighboring rivers.
		While the canal helped shape the communities around it in a number of ways, its plan came too late to influence the development of port facilities further south, which were already committed to a course of growth centered on the railroads.
