Cross River is a state in South South Nigeria, bordering Cameroon to the east. Its capital is Calabar, and name derived from the Cross River (Oyono), which passes through the state. Ejagham and Efik are major languages of this state.
History
Cross River State is a coastal state in South Eastern Nigeria, named after the Cross River, which passes through the state. Located in the Niger Delta, Cross River State occupies 20,156 square kilometers. It shares boundaries with Benue State to the north, Ebonyi and Abia States to the west, to the east by Cameroon Republic and to the south by Akwa-Ibom and the Atlantic Ocean.
The South-South State was created on May 27, 1967 from the former Eastern Region, Nigeria by the General Yakubu Gowon regime. Its name was changed to Cross River State in the 1976 state creation exercise by the then General Murtala Mohammed regime from South Eastern State. The present day Akwa Ibom State was excised from it in the state creation exercise of September 1987 by the then regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Its capital is Calabar. Its major towns are Akamkpa, Biase, Calabar South, Ikom, Obubra, Odukpani, Ogoja, Ugep, Obudu, Obanliku, Akpabuyo, Ofutop, Iso-bendghe, and Boji
The Cross River is a short river in southern New York State that rises near Cross River in the township of Lewisboro. After its rising point, it makes a loop, heading SE, then SW, then NW, and finally west. It flows a few miles in that direction until it ends up in the Cross River Reservoir, which supplies New York City with drinking water. It flows out of the spillway at the end of the reservoir, and continues further until it joins the Croton River in Katonah.
The short stretch of river that begins at the spillway outlet and continues on to the river's entry into the Muscoot Reservoir is an outstanding early spring trout fishery.
In October 2011, lawyer Samuel Friedlander shot both of his children in their beds and bludgeoned his wife Amy, who was in the process of divorcing him, to death. Then he went down into his basement and shot himself. This murder-suicide occurred in the small hamlet of Cross River.
Cross River (of which its native name is Oyono) is the main river in southeastern Nigeria and gives its name to Cross River State.
It originates in Cameroon, where it takes the name of the Manyu River.
Although not long by African standards its catchment has high rainfall and it becomes very wide. Over its last 80 kilometres (50mi) to the sea its flows through swampyrainforest with numerous creeks and forms an inland delta near its confluence with the Calabar River, about 20 kilometres (12mi) wide and 50 kilometres (31mi) long between the cities of Oron on the west bank and Calabar, on the east bank, more than 30 kilometres (19mi) from the open sea. The delta empties into a broad estuary which it shares with a few smaller rivers. At its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean, the estuary is 24 kilometres (15mi) wide. The eastern side of the estuary is in the neighbouring country of Cameroon.
The major tributary of cross river is the river Aloma coming from Benue State to merge with the cross river in cross river state.
Cross River State is connected with a major highway to its sister state Akwa Ibom. The distance between Oron and Calabar is 21 kilometres (13mi) by boat and about 200 kilometres (120mi) by road. The population of the lower Cross River traditionally use water transport and Calabar has long had a major seaport, in the Calabar River about 10 kilometres (6mi) from its confluence with the Cross River and about 55 kilometres (34mi) from the sea. The Itu bridge on the Cross River is along Ikom-Calabar highway and is reported to be one of the landmark achievements of the Gowon administration when it was completed in 1975.

Lyrics:
I always thought I’d cross that river
The other side, distant now
As I got close it turned and widened
Horizon now, fading out
Drifting off in the undertow
Can’t spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had, …
None to be had
I used to tell time...

La Rocca - Cross The River
One of the first songs I heard about La Rocca (lyrics below).
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?j2mzghatim0
Lyrics:
I left as soon as I was strong
Off to see the land beyond
I took a road way up on high
Bodies lying either side
I stood and wondered how could I
Cross the river to the other side
Cross the river to the other side
A road like this can be a friend
Taking journeys home again
Or else you give it one more try
Risk it all to satisfy
Waiting till the cloak of night
To cross the river to the other side
Cross the river to the other side
I call out loud, "A man is down
I saw his robe and ruby crown."
But no one listened, no one tried
Unless the money's not all right
We'll hit borders every mile
To cross the river to the other side
Cross the river to the other side
