SOUTHSHORE:

The south shore is geographical term applied to the area of Staten Island, New York. South & East of the Island ridge of hills (Richmond Creek & Fresh Kills south of Historic Richmond Town) along the water front and adjacent areas from Narrows to the mouth of the Arthur Kill. Although many observers prefer to restrict it’s scope to the neighborhoods located between the shoreline of Raritan Bayon one side & Richmond Creek & Fresh Kills on the other, thus encompassing the neighborhoods of Great Kills to Tottenville only.

Prior to the 1960’s, the south shore was widely undeveloped, how ever after the building of Verrazano Narrows Bridge, it’s population rose sharply.
