New Springville, Staten Island

New Springville sits at the geographical center of Staten Island, featuring extensive residential developments and the Staten Island Mall as its commercial nucleus.

The area, established in 1680 as Karle's Neck Village, transformed from a rural settlement into an urban center following the 1964 opening of the Verrazzano Bridge.

The neighborhood contains eight educational institutions, including P.S. 58 Space Shuttle Columbia School and the Gaynor McCown Expeditionary Learning School.

The Yukon Bus Depot serves as a major transportation hub with six city bus routes and capacity for 380 buses connecting residents across Staten Island.

The former chicken farm and small airport location evolved into the Staten Island Mall in 1973, establishing the area as a primary retail destination.
