225th Street-Marble Hill (IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line)
225th Street–Marble Hill is a
station on the
IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line of the
New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of
Broadway and 225th Street, it is served by the train at all times. It is a short distance away from the
Marble Hill station of the . Just south of the station, trains cross the
Broadway Bridge onto the island of
Manhattan.
The
Marble Hill neighborhood and the station today reside on the northern shore of the Harlem River Ship Canal, also known as
Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and are thus geographically on the mainland. However, the neighborhood was formerly part of the island of Manhattan. The canal was constructed in 1895, separating the neighborhood from the rest of the island. After the original creekbed was filled in, Marble Hill became part of the mainland, although it is still considered part of Manhattan for administrative and political purposes.
Note: See
Manhattan for an explanation of the distinction between
island of Manhattan and the
borough of Manhattan, a political entity consisting of the
island of Manhattan, several other islands, and the Marble Hill neighborhood on the mainland.
