Todt Hill
The highest natural point on the Atlantic coastal plain between Florida and Cape Cod
The read Todt Hill in short
Todt Hill, at 401 feet, is the highest natural point in New York City and on the Atlantic coastal plain between Florida and Cape Cod. The wooded ridge is part of the Staten Island Greenbelt; the surrounding neighborhood is one of the borough's most affluent. The hill is formed of serpentine rock, and its name — from an old word for death — may refer to the burial ground at its base, where Moravian Cemetery spreads below the summit. Quiet, winding, and without a rail stop of its own, it is a rare New York neighborhood defined more by topography than by transit.
