The Grant City station is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Grant City, Staten Island, New York.
History
The station opened on April 23, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Vanderbilt's Landing to Eltingville.[1][2] Prior to 1965, the Grant City station was at grade level. In 1964, construction began on eliminating the crossings from Jefferson Avenue to New Dorp. The tracks were displaced onto South Railroad Avenue and the station was relocated during the construction.[3]
