Jericho Long Island New York Jericho Turnpike 1910s Postcard Posted Divided Back

This 1910s postcard of Jericho Turnpike in Jericho, Long Island, New York documents an early twentieth-century roadway landscape along one of the region’s most historic east–west corridors, mailed during the divided-back era.

Jericho Turnpike traces its origins to colonial transportation routes that connected western Long Island to farming villages and market towns further east. By the early automobile period, stretches of the turnpike combined rural scenery with emerging residential development, reflecting Long Island’s gradual transition from agrarian crossroads to suburban corridor. Postcards from this era frequently highlight tree-lined roads, curved intersections, and prominent homes to convey both accessibility and pastoral character.

The image shows a gently curving roadway bordered by mature trees and a substantial residence set behind a low fence, with smaller outbuildings and open land visible to the left. The printed caption Jericho Turnpike Jericho L I and publisher credit to W. C. Bradley anchor the location and period. As a posted divided-back example, the card provides both visual documentation of the roadway’s early configuration and postal-era context tied to Long Island’s transportation history.
