History
The original plan of the Parkway was to extend to Passaic Avenue in West Caldwell on the northern end and to Route 24 in Chatham on the southern end. There is a complete cloverleaf interchange at Route 24, which would have been Interchange 5 on 24 (and there were once blank signs erected on 24 West). The bridges over Route 24, which would have been part of Eisenhower Parkway, are currently open to all-terrain vehicles. Had it been extended to the south, it was going to be called Triborough Road (at least in Chatham and Florham Park). Signage on the interchange bridge bears the name "Triborough Road".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
