Yonkers

The city of Yonkers, New York is the fourth largest city by population in the state of New York with 97,234 residents, behind New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester. Located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River as well as the Bronx River, the city is often thought of in tandem with New York City, given its close proximity to the city’s boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx. Yonkers is a city with its own identity, however, with a sustainable economy and culture all to its own. 

Yonkers dates back to 1645 when the land that it is built upon was granted to a Dutch esquire named Colen Donck. Donck was referred to as a Jonkheer or Jonker, which is Dutch for “esquire,” thus accounting for the city’s name. As a result of its early place in American history, the city has played an important role in the American Revolution as well as the Civil War.

Today, the city is home to a diverse array of ethnic neighborhoods and cultures. Irish, Italian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, and Jewish ethnic groups all comprise the unique identity of the city. Most of these ethnic groups lived in ghetto-like communities up until the second half of the 20th century, however the city is becoming more and more ethnically integrated.

The city of Yonkers is divided into four major neighborhoods: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest Yonkers. Surrounding towns and cities include: Manhattan, The Bronx, Hackensack, Closter, New Milford, Eastchester, Greenville, Dobbs Ferry, Norwood, Hartsdale, Wykagyl, and Paramus.
