Schraalenburgh Road

Haworth’s Historic Highway

Beginning as an Indian trail, it became a Colonial road through the village of Schraalenburgh, linking Teaneck with Tappan, N.Y. Surveyed and improved in 1775, it appeared on maps made during the Revolutionary War by Americans, French and British. The road was used by troops of both sides, including Tory raiding parties. This section in Haworth still retains the Schraalenburgh name.
