Quaker Ridge (NYW&B station)
Quaker Ridge (NYW&B Station) is a former railroad station on the White Plains branch of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway in the city of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. The station is named for the Quaker Ridge section of northern New Rochelle along the Scarsdale Town border.〔(The United States Board on Geographic Names (GNIS) - Quaker Ridge )〕 It was constructed by the New York, Westchester & Boston commuter railroad which linked Manhattan with the less populous northern Bronx section of New York City and the primarily undeveloped countryside of Westchester County.
The station was State-determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places but is not listed there.〔(Historically Significant Sites of New Rochelle )〕
==Development==
The Quaker Ridge property was seen as exceptionally well located for residential purposes. It was high, perfect in drainage, rolling in topography, and afforded magnificent views of Long Island Sound. Initially fifty acres of this property was surveyed and placed on the market. The property fronted on the Quaker Ridge Station, and intersected with wide, newly built drives and boulevards.〔^ Davis, Barbara (2009). Images of America - New Rochelle. Chicago, IL: Arcadia Publishing. pp. 115.〕 The Quaker Ridge Improvement Company was later organized for further development of the surrounding area.
