The Tappan Zee is a natural widening of the Hudson River, about 3 miles across at its widest, in southeastern New York. It stretches about 10 miles along the boundary between Rockland and Westchester counties, downstream from Croton Point to Irvington. It derives its name from the Tappan Native American sub-tribe of the Delaware/Lenni Lenape, and the Dutch word zee, meaning a sea.
Flanked to the west by high steep bluffs of the Palisades, it forms something of a natural lake on the Hudson about 10 miles north of Manhattan. Communities along the Tappan Zee include Nyack on the western side as well as Ossining and Tarrytown on the eastern side. It was formerly crossed by the original Tappan Zee Bridge, opened in 1955 and about 3.1 miles long, connecting Nyack and Tarrytown. Today, it is crossed by the new Tappan Zee Bridge , which opened in 2017 and 2018 at about the same length as the old bridge.
