173RD ANNIVERSARY: THE GREAT FRESHET OF 1841

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

Marc Cheshire of CROTON HISTORY & MYSTERIES reminded us that yesterday was the 173rd anniversary of the great freshet of 1841, when part of the nearly-completed Croton Dam gave way, releasing a huge torrent of water, ice and debris that swept away everything in its path, changing the lower Croton River forever.
