- Harlem Rail Road Line to Scarsdale
- What occurred
- At the end of 1844, the construction of the railroad to Scarsdale, NY was finally completed. This crucial development in transportation allowed for New York City dwellers to come to the suburbs more often and efficiently. While Scarsdale was initially a place where New Yorkers had their summer home in, it eventually evolved into an affluent suburban neighborhood where workers would live and commute to the city for employment. The completion of this railroad not only boosted the economy, but it accounted for the success of the growth of Scarsdale.
