Contrary to its name, it was not originally an island. During construction of the New York State Barge Canal in 1916, engineers cut a new canal channel through the land, separating it from the mainland and creating what is now known as Horseshoe Island. For a time, residents relied on a ferry before a bridge connected the island to the mainland. The Barge Canal forever changed transportation and commerce throughout the region and remains an important recreational waterway today.
