Goldens Bridge, New York
Goldens Bridge is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Lewisboro in Westchester County, New York, United States. The population was 1,630 at the 2010 census.
Goldens Bridge is in the western part of the town, adjacent to Interstate 684 and the Croton River. The community is a suburb of New York City, as it is located approximately 40 miles (48 km) north of Mid-town Manhattan.
According to The New York Times, Colonial geographers and surveyors identified a crossing over the Croton River in the Goldens Bridge area as early as 1750. Early maps included different names, including Coldens Bridge, Goldings Bridge and Goldens Bridge. The bridge was washed away and rebuilt a number of times in flooding today controlled by the dams and reservoirs of the New York City water supply system's Croton Watershed. The area around the crossing grew into a depot for farm produce from Connecticut and Salem, New York, and a stop for travelers along the river. The bridge is gone, as the crossing where it stood lies under the New Croton Reservoir, which was created when the Croton River was dammed around the turn of the 20th century.
Bridge L-158, a railroad bridge crossing the Muscoot Reservoir near Goldens Bridge, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Goldens Bridge is located at 41°17′16″N 73°40′7″W / 41.28778°N 73.66861°W (41.287896, -73.668630).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.5 square miles (6.6 km2), of which 2.4 square miles (6.3 km2) is land and 0.12 square miles (0.3 km2), or 5.19%, is water.
Goldens Bridge has a diverse terrain of several rocky hills, mostly with stones deposited during the retreat of the last ice age. It is largely forested, and includes many streams and lakes, and borders both the Muscoot and Cross River reservoirs.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,578 people, 572 households, and 431 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 503.8 inhabitants per square mile (194.5/km2). There were 607 housing units at an average density of 193.8 per square mile (74.8/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 95.31% White, 1.39% African American, 2.34% Asian, 0.13% from other races, and 0.82% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.28% of the population.
