Spuyten Duyvil

 neighbourhood, draw only border

Spuyten Duyvil is a sub-neighborhood within the greater Riverdale neighborhood area of New York City's borough of The Bronx, NY. It is named after a creek that formerly ran along Marble Hill's north side until it was filled in 1914. The name itself is a Dutch word bearing several possible translations the most plausible of which is "Spinning Devil", "Devil's Whirlpool", or "Devil's Spate". The name Spuyten Duyvil currently refers to the southernmost section of Riverdale, below West 232nd Street (or below 239th Street by some definitions - though this definition is considerably less accurate.)

This neighborhood is home to The Henry Hudson Memorial Park and the Henry Hudson Bridge, which connects it to the island of Manhattan. It is also the location of the Spuyten Duyvil train station, which is served by the Hudson Line of the Metro-North Railroad.
Saint Nicholas Avenue in Manhattan was originally an Indian path named Weekquaeskeek, which accommodated travelers going north to Spuyten Duyvil.
