Crestwood (Yonkers) - Crestwood-Tuckahoe Confusion

Crestwood-Tuckahoe Confusion

The Bronx River serves as the town line between several Westchester communities, dividing the City of Yonkers from the Town of Eastchester, with its villages of Tuckahoe and Bronxville. The Harlem Line of the Metro-North commuter railroad runs along the Bronx River and has two stops in the Village of Tuckahoe. Since both stations could not be named Tuckahoe, the southern station down by the Village Hall is named Tuckahoe for the area east of the station, and the northern station Crestwood for the area to the west, in Yonkers. This leads many Tuckahoe residents to refer to northern Tuckahoe as Crestwood.

This train station was depicted on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post issue for November 16, 1946, in the painting Commuters, by Norman Rockwell.
