	MMPCIA HARLEM HISTORY
		According to the 1910 Census, the Greater Harlem area extending from 110th to 155th Streets between the Hudson and Harlem Rivers had a population of approximately 500,000 persons, of which roughly 50,000 were Black and 75,000 native-born White.
		Harlem's Black population rapidly increased from 83,248 in 1920 to 203,894 in 1930, with a residential density of 236 persons per acre, or twice that of Manhattan as a whole.
		Focused on Central Harlem between 110th and 125th Streets from Morningside to Fifth Avenues, the plan laid the framework for the present superblock public housing strip between 112th and 115th Streets, extending from Lenox Avenue to the Harlem River.

	History and Significance of the Harlem River
		About 6,000 years ago the Hudson River emptied into the ancient Atlantic Ocean, depositing sediments over the bedrock; this resulted in the formation of the Hudson River estuary, which is the water and land at the mouth the river that contains a mixture of salt and freshwater.
		The Harlem River is therefore affected by the actions of the ocean and neighboring rivers.
		At the heart of their construction was the issue of keeping the Harlem River navigable for water traffic and yet sufficiently serving the needs of land bound traffic crossing the river.

	Harlem River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harlem River is a tidal strait in New York City, USA that flows 8 miles (13 km) between the East River and the Hudson River, separating the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
		The Harlem River is navigable to any boat with less than 55 feet (16.8 m) of draft.
		All other movable bridges on the Harlem River provide at least 24 feet (7.3 m) of clearance while closed, so boats requiring between 5 and 24 feet (1.5 and 7.3 m) of clearance need only have one bridge swing for them.
