Summary

Description
English: The hamlet of Archville along the original Croton Aqueduct route was founded as a community of laborers building the Croton Aqueduct. It was named after an arched bridge that carried the aqueduct over the highway, present-day U.S. Route 9. Built in 1839 and demolished in 1924 as a traffic hazard, the Archville Bridge is commemorated on two plaques on the western end of the pedestrian, trail-walking bridge that later replaced it.
