Pelham Road, known as Shore Road within the Bronx, is a historic 4.1-mile (6.6 km) east-west road that runs along the Long Island Sound shoreline from Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx through the southern Westchester County, New York communities of New Rochelle and Pelham Manor. The thoroughfare had its beginning as a Native American trail linking the important villages on Davenport Neck to those on Pelham Neck in Pelham. Between these points along the shore line there was an almost continuous chain of small Indian villages and camps. This waterfront area was especially advantageous, with many small coves in secure harbors and protected by adjacent islands and many small streams of water and abundant springs.[2]
The segment of Pelham Road in Westchester County is internally designated, but not signed, as County Route 65.
