Spuyten Duyvil Creek channel connects the Hudson River to the Harlem River Ship Canal and the Harlem River in New York City, separating Manhattan from the Bronx mainland. The Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood lies north of the creek.
The creek originally flowed north of Manhattan's Marble Hill. The 1895 construction of the ship chanel south of Marbel Hill turned that neighborhood into an island. In 1914 the original creek bed north of Marbel Hill was filled in, connecting Marble Hill physically to the Bronx and the mainland, though it remains part of the borough of Manhattan.
"Spuyten Duyvil" , originally "Spuitende Duivel" in Dutch, means "Devil's Spout" . The creek had strong and wild currents in that area.
