Old York Road
Old York Road (originally York Road) is a roadway that was built in the 18th century to connect Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Elizabethtown Point, New Jersey. Through New Jersey it was built along the Raritan (Unami tribe) "Naraticong Trail". The Swift Sure Stage Coach Line completed the journey between the two cities in two days and cost only a few dollars. A ferry left Elizabethtown Point for New York City, New York or passengers could continue onto Newark and ultimately Powles Hook Ferry (present day Exchange Place in Jersey City) via Bergen Point Plank Road/Newark Plank Road.
