  Travel to Bronx - New York - USA - History - WorldTravelGate.net®-
As the railroad was extended, the center of population shifted west from the area east of the Bronx River, and the towns of West Farms (1846) and Morrisania (1855) were established.
In 1874 the towns of Morrisania, West Farms, and Kingsbridge were annexed to the city; known as the Annexed District, they were placed under the jurisdiction of the parks department and became the city's twenty-third and twenty-fourth ward.
It was not until 1912, however, that the state legislature established the County of the Bronx as the sixty-second county in the state, effective 1 January 1914.

 Bronx, New York, city profile
The Bronx is one of the five boroughs of New York City in the United States.
The Bronx underwent rapid growth after World War I. Extensions of the New York City Subway contributed to the increase in population as thousands of immigrants flooded the Bronx, resulting in a major boom in residential construction.
Though it has a great deal of attractions, the Bronx is known for being particularly "anti-tourist", not so much in the sense of hostility to outsiders but insofar as its reputation nationally keeps tourists to New York as far from the borough as possible.

 Checking Out The Bronx's New Library - January 10, 2006 - The New York Sun
It is not easy to define what that context is. Because it has long been one of the least affluent regions of New York, this area is full of three- and four-story houses that have not changed over the last 100 years and which are crammed at street level with every manner of mom-and-pop establishment.
There is a seedy glory to this monster of a boulevard, a discordant collision of early-20th-century folies de grandeur and six subsequent decades of malign neglect.
If you are feeling nostalgic for that vanished New York of the postwar years, or of the decrepit 1960s, or of a pre-Disneyfied Times Square, rest assured that it's alive and well in this part of the Bronx.
