Pond Eddy
New York Town
Settlement in this area was the result of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which opened in the 1820s during the height of the canal-building boom in New York. The Erie Railroad was built on the Pennsylvania side of the river and added to the growth of the area. In 1870, the town of Lumberland, NY, funded construction of the Pond Eddy Bridge, based on the design of Roebling’s wire-suspension bridge at Lackawaxen. At its peak, the town had two stores, a telegraph office, 18 homes and a hotel. The canal went out of business in 1898, and The Erie Railroad station did not link to other communities. The bridge was replaced in the early 1900s; a 21st-century replacement that looks like the old bridge was completed in 2019.
The community is located along the Delaware River and New York State Route 97. The Pond Eddy Bridge links the hamlet to the community of Pond Eddy, Pennsylvania, which is only accessible via the bridge.
