Tuckahoe

The Tuckahoe School District serves the municipality of Eastchester and portions of the communities of Tuckahoe and Bronxville. Tuckahoe was once nicknamed the Marble Capital of the World for the quality of the stone quarried throughout the 19th century. Many important buildings including St. Patrick’s Cathedral and The New York Public Library in Manhattan both used Tuckahoe marble and helped drive the expansion of the railroads on the Harlem line. Today the Bronx River serves as a backdrop for some of Tuckahoe’s nicest parks.
