| | Tottenville, Staten Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the colonial period and for a significant time thereafter, Tottenville was an important way-station for travelers between New York City (of which Staten Island did not formally become a part until 1898) and Philadelphia, as it was the site of a ferry that crossed the Arthur Kill to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. |
 | | Tottenville High School, a public school, was originally located in the neighborhood, but a new campus was opened approximately three miles to the north, in the Huguenot section, in 1972 (Totten Intermediate or I.S.34, a junior high school, now occupies the original high school building). |
 | | The 2000 Census showed that ZIP Code 10307, essentially coterminous with Tottenville (a fortuitous circumstance as (most) neighborhoods in New York City do not have officially recognized boundaries) had a population of 9,207, whose median age was 35.4, and the zip code's per-capita income was found to be $27,688. |
