Morrisania, West Farms and Kingsbridge, located west of the Bronx, were annexed to the city in 1874. The Belmont Stakes moved east across the Bronx River to West 57th Street in 1890, where they stayed until they moved back to Belmonte Park in Nassau County in 1905. 

Most of the eastern half of the modern Bronx was bought in 1654 by Thomas Pell of Connecticut, who invited 16 families to found what is now Westchester Square. The Pelham estate, which belonged to the Pell family, and the Morris family’s in Morrisania were in the south-west. In the westernmost part, John Archer settled in a manori in Fordham around 1671. In the mid-18th century, all of New York City, except the Bronx and parts of Nassau and Suffolk counties, was in Westchester County, with the exception of Pell’s family, which owned the Menor in Pelham. 

As commuting by car became more convenient, high-rise buildings were erected in the southern and eastern neighborhoods, including Westchester Square, the Bronx Riverfront and other parts of the city. As more Bronx residents were allowed to own their homes, single-family and terraced houses were built, hundreds of residential buildings were restored, and some apartments were converted into cooperative housing units.

Soon after, Bronx residents applied for county status, and Governor Andrew Cuomo chose Bronx County, a district of just over 1.5 million people. The road from the Bronx to the courts in southern Manhattan was a long and arduous one for the Bronx residents, many of whom soon petitioned the county for deportation. 

The condos were built in the South Bronx, which was already known nationally as a symbol of urban misery at the time. The chance to make a profit coincided with the development of the Bronx and surrounding areas, such as Woodlawn Cemetery, the largest cemetery in New York City. His proposed development included the construction of a $1.5 billion apartment building on the grounds of WoodLawn Cemetery, where wealthy Manhattan residents had been buried since 1863, and the burial of hundreds of thousands of people. 

In 1868, Mott Haven was named Morrisania, whose streets met city guidelines and the following year were handed over to the New York City Parks Department as a road leading to a bridge over the Harlem River. He secured public funds to repair the road and to build a new park, the Brucknerpark, on the grounds of the forest cemetery. In the 1950s, he took control of a highway bridge that connected the Bronx with the rest of our city. The completed $149 million “Bruckner Crossing” was replaced in 1972 by a four-lane highway with new traffic lights and bridges for $2.5 billion.

Unfortunately, the Ave Bruckner Blvd neighborhood has the dubious advantage of having the longest average drive time in most neighborhoods in America. Despite the long distances, it has a reputation for self-behaviour, especially when it comes to the lack of public transport. 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 54.1% of people in the Ave Bruckner Blvd neighborhood travel to work by train, the second highest rate in New York City. The Point and Avenue Bruckner Boulevard are occupied by tenants who are either tenants of residential developments or high-rise apartments. These are classified as either low-income, mediocre, or upper middle class, and are more than twice as likely to be found in American neighborhoods as the 95.3%.
