Clayton (New York) Halal Travel Guide

The original residents of this area were Algonquian and Onondaga local tribes, which were followed by Iroquois and by French explorers. US permanent settlement in the area began in the early to mid 1800s, years after the end of the War of 1812 which had been waged at points as local as Sackets Harbor and Gananoque. By 1873 and the Clayton Division of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad (RW&O, later part of the New York Central) was carrying passengers and freight to Clayton's station and ferry terminal (now Frink Park) from New York City and Boston. At one point, five hotels on different islands were served by steamships based in Clayton. New York's millionaires used the Thousand Islands as their summer playground, building opulent structures such as Singer Castle and Boldt Castle (bankrolled by Singer sewing machine and Waldorf-Astoria hotel barons, respectively). Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in attendance for the 1938 opening of a magnificent international bridge across the St. Lawrence River, which landed at the midpoint of the (then under construction) Thousand Islands Parkway in Canada.

The last passenger train ran in 1951; the tracks to Clayton were removed after the last freight train in 1972. Frink Park now serves as a public venue for performances. Tour boats to Boldt Castle and the Thousand Islands depart seasonally from both Alexandria Bay and Clayton. An international vehicle ferry runs seasonally from Wolfe Island (Ontario) to Cape Vincent.
