The Dyckman Street Fault is a seismologically active fault in New York City which runs parallel along the southern border of Inwood Hill Park, crossing the Harlem River and into Morris Heights. [1] As recently as 1989, activity of this fault caused a magnitude 2 earthquake. [2] [3] [4]
The area within 100 km radius of New York City has an intermediate level of seismic activity, more than what is observed in central New York State. [11] It is not as seismically active as California which is located at a transform plate boundary, but large and damaging earthquakes do occur. Furthermore, when these rare eastern U.S. earthquakes ...

New York's largest earthquake with an epicenter near Massena, St. Lawrence County, measured 5.8 and was felt from Canada to Maryland and Indiana to Maine. It did $2 million in damage in Massena ...
Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by discoveries of Earth's tectonic plates, [1] seismotomography imaging technique, [2] observations using space satellites from outer space, [3] artificial intelligence (AI)-based ...
