[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] with its provisions, the town of North Salem was sur-veyed January 14, 1798, under the superintendence of Daniel Delavan, then supervisor, of the town. From this survey, a copy of which is here inserted, it will he noticed that a post road passes through the town from the north between Lake Pehquennakonck and the Connecticut line and on the west side of Long Pond or Lake Wepuc. It was the post road from Vermont to New York. Highways were laid out as early as 1769, across the town from east to west, one following the course of the Titicus River to Croton River, the other from the post road, below Lake Pehquennakonck, to Croton River, and from this point along its eastern bank into Lewisboro'. Between Croton Falls and Purdy's Station a road crossed the Croton River into Stephen-town (now Somers). The bridge at this place was built before the Revolution, as in April, 1777, the British army, under General Tryon, crossed when Danbury was burned. A bridge was rebuilt at the place by the town at a cost of £100, under the charge ofHachaliah Brown, Other roads intersected these named and ran north and south. Railroads. — There is at the present time but one railroad that runs through or touches the town, viz. : the New York and Harlem Railroad, which passes through the west end of the town its entire width from north to south.
