Cly is an unincorporated community in Newberry Township, York County, Pennsylvania, United States. Cly is located on Cly Road Route 262, between York Haven and Goldsboro on the Susquehanna River.

History

Cly was on an important stagecoach route between York and Harrisburg.

The prosperity of the stagecoach era started to decline in the 1830s with the completion of the Codorus Canal into York. Also, in the 1830s, a railroad was put in and still runs through it. Today, the railroad only carries cargo and is operated by Norfolk Southern. Today, the only businesses in Cly are a bar and a landscaping service. Until the late 1990s, the community played host to a minor league baseball team called the Cly Bulldogs. For the last two years, it has hosted the Cly Mudcats, an All-star team from the York Adult Recreation League. Between the two teams, the field was controlled by a local school district and almost sold to a developer. In the late 1990s, a developer bought a small tract of land beside the Cly Ball Field, and built Riverside Village. During construction a Native American burial ground was found. Construction was halted for over a year while the site was excavated. Between completion and today, one of the houses has burnt down three times.

The Erie Canal is a historic canal in upstate New York that runs east–west between the Hudson River and Lake Erie. Completed in 1825, the canal was the first navigable waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, vastly reducing the costs of transporting people and goods across the Appalachians.

It has been called "The Nation's First Superhighway."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Stage station</span> Place of rest provided for stagecoach travelers

A stage station or relay station, also known as a staging post, a posting station, or a stage stop, is a facility along a main road or trade route where a traveller can rest and/or replace exhausted working animals for fresh ones, since long journeys are much faster with less delays when using well fed and rested mounts. Stage is the space between the places known as stations or stops — also known in British English as posts or relays.
