Burdett's Landing, Colonial ferry landing in Edgewater, United States
Located on the west bank of the Hudson River, Burdett's Landing operated as a crossing point between New Jersey and Manhattan during the colonial period.
The site served as a military headquarters for George Washington in 1776, facilitating troop movements and supply transfers during the Revolutionary War campaign.
The landing evolved from Native Lenni Lenape territory to a European settlement, marking the transformation of transportation methods across the Hudson River.
A commemorative plaque near 1-11 Annett Avenue in Edgewater marks the former location of this significant Revolutionary War crossing point.
The landing included a 250-foot bluff called Mount Constitution, which provided strategic military advantages for monitoring British ship movements on the Hudson River.
