The plight of U. S. Route 66 in particular, whose disappearance from the map in 1985 turned places like Glenrio, Texas and Amboy, California into overnight ghost towns, began to capture public attention with Route 66 associations springing up in every state as concern over preservation of decaying motels and other roadside infrastructure of the neon era came into view.

Route 35 was designated in 1927 to run from Lakewood to South Amboy, replacing Pre-1927 Route 4 from Lakewood to Belmar and from Eatontown to South Amboy.

It was realigned onto its current alignment between Brielle and Belmar in 1929 and saw a northward extension along U. S. Route 9 from South Amboy to Iselin in 1947.

At the same time, Route 35 was removed from U. S. Route 9 between South Amboy and Iselin and realigned to follow a former piece of Route 4 between South Amboy and Rahway.

* Amboy – A hamlet in the north central part of Camillus on NY-173.

Amboy is the name ( or part of the name ) of a number of places in the United States of America:

During the colonial period and for a significant time thereafter, Tottenville was an important way-station for travelers between New York City ( of which Staten Island did not formally become a part until 1898 ) and Philadelphia, as it was the site of a ferry that crossed the Arthur Kill to the Ferry Slip in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

Originally named Bentley Manor by one of its first settlers, Captain Christopher Billop ( 1638 – 1726 ), after a small ship he owned named the Bentley, the district was renamed Tottenville in 1869, apparently in honor of the locally prominent Totten family, whose name can be seen on tombstones in one of the earliest churches, Bethel Methodist Church, on Amboy Road.

The fate of one such home, which had been the parsonage of Bethel Methodist Church, located at 7484 Amboy Road, became the focus of an intense local controversy in March, 2005, when the community rose up in opposition to plans by builder John Grossi, who had purchased the property, to raze the home and construct five townhouse units on the site.

When the Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Company opened its original Trenton-New Brunswick line in 1839, the line was located along the east bank of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, about one mile ( 2 km ) from downtown Princeton.

Garth Ancier ( born 3 September 1957 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey ) is a media executive best known for being one of only two people ( the other being Fred Silverman ) to have programmed three of the five US broadcast television networks ( Founding Programmer at Fox, Founding Programmer at The WB-now The CW, and NBC Entertainment ).

Two branches on the line north of New Brunswick were built, one to Carteret and one towards Perth Amboy, both merging towards the north.

Prior to 1872, its main lines were the Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Company ( C & A ), the first railroad in New Jersey and one of the first in the U. S., and the New Jersey Rail Road and Transportation Company ( NJRR ), the first railroad across the New Jersey Palisades.

Despite forming one third of the route, the NJRR only got one sixth of the earnings from the joint operation, which ran between Philadelphia and New York City in 5. 5 hours ( down from 6 hours 50 minutes via South Amboy ).

In New York City and the surrounding areas, a great deal of Americans who claim Norwegian Ancestry can trace their roots to Arendal, as a great deal of Norwegian sailors, trimmers, shipbuilders and carpenters from Arendal settled in areas of New York such as Brooklyn, the Staten Island neighborhood of Port Richmond, and several industrial centers in Northern New Jersey such as Jersey City, Bayonne, Perth Amboy and Elizabeth.

Detroit was a center of the 1960s garage rock scene, with such legendary bands as The Amboy Dukes ( featuring guitarist Ted Nugent ), The Bob Seger System,?

He went on to design many other technological innovations, such as the “ twohorse dump wagon ” for New York City ; the " closed fireroom ” system of forced draft for his family's steamboat fleet ; and the " vestibule car " for the Camden and Amboy Railroad.

The line was intended to provide an alternate to the various monopolies that existed along the route, specifically the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Companies and their Camden and Amboy Railroad, and as such had a long struggle to be built.

However, only a few bands such as Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids, Black Oak Arkansas, Ramatam Mike Quatro, Bang, Cheech and Chong, Foghat, Albert King, Brownsville Station, Santana, Canned Heat, Flash, Ravi Shankar, Rory Gallagher, Lee Michaels and Frosty, The Eagles, The Amboy Dukes, Farm, and Gentle Giant actually performed.
