The origin of the name "South Ferry" is probably one of the more misunderstood trivia, even to most New Yorkers. One would suppose that it is so called because it is at the southern tip of Manhattan, and it hosts ferries. In actuality, it was one of several ferries named for the street at who's end the ferry slip resided (in this case South Street). The ferry connected to the foot of Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad (later part of the Long Island Rail Road) through the Cobble Hill Tunnel. In addition, South Ferry was the name of the Brooklyn landing and ferry house of the above-mentioned ferry. Atlantic Avenue is a street in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. ...
