Egbertville, Staten Island
Adapted from Wikipedia ยท Discoverer experience
Egbertville is a neighborhood on the East Shore of Staten Island in New York City. It was first called Stony Brook because it was the island's first county seat. Later, it was named after a family that owned a farm there in the 1700s. For a time, it was called Morgan's Corner.
Many Irish families moved to Egbertville in the 1800s, and it was sometimes called Tipperary Corners, New Dublin, or Young Ireland. The area is at the center of the Staten Island Greenbelt, and Richmond Creek flows through a ravine there called the Egbertville Ravine. The main street is Rockland Avenue, which connects New Dorp and New Springville.
Two important places in Egbertville are the Jacques Marchais Center of Tibetan Art and the Moore-McMillen House, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood has several bus routes, including the S54, S57, S74, and S84, that help people get around.
