In 1890 the city comprised all of what is now Manhattan and greater part of what is now the Bronx, but under the act of consolidation Kings Co., Richmond Co., the larger part of Queens Co. and a small part of Westechester Co. became a part of the city. Manhattan comprises that part of the old city south of the Harlem River, this area being known formerly as Manhattan Island. Bronx was formed from that part of the old City of New York lying north of the Harlem River and the small part of Westchester Co. annexed under the act of consolidation. All of this area was at one time a part of Westchester Co.. but in 1873 the towns of Morrisania, West Farms and King's Bridge were annexed to New York: under consolidation, Jan. 1, 1898, all of the town of Westchester and parts of the towns of Eastchester and Pelham became a part of the city. The towns of Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend and New Utrecht were absorbed by the City of Brooklyn in 1894, Flatbush becoming the 29th Ward, New Utrecht the 30th Ward, Gravesend the 31st Ward, Flatlands the 32d Ward. The city thus became coextensive with Kings Co., and on Jan. 1890 1880 Boroughs. 1900 1870 Queens Borough was organized at the same time from what was Long Island City, the towns of Flushing, Jamaica and Newtown, and a small Portion of the town of Hempstead, all of which were civil divisions of Queens Co. The remaining towns of the county, Oyster Bay and North Hempstead, together with the greater part of the town of Hempstead, were taken to form the new The 1st Ward of Queens Borcounty of Nassau. ough comprises what was formerly Long Island City, the 2d Ward what was formerly Newtown town, the 3d Ward what was formerly Flushing town, the 4th Ward what was formerly Jamaica town and the 5th Ward that part of the town of Hempstead now within the limits of the borough of Queens. It is impossible to state definitely the population in 1890 of that part of the town of Hempstead, Queens Co., which became a part of Queens Borough, and of the parts of the towns of Eastchester and Pelham, Westchester Co., which became a part of Bronx Borough, but in the following is shown the estimated population for the City of New York, as now constituted, and in detail for each borough of the city, from 1790 to 1900: 1860 1850 1840 1830 1820 1810 1800 1760 New York City 3,437,202 2,507,414 1,911,698 1,478,103 1,174,779 696,115 391.114 242,278 152,056 119,734 79,216 49,401 The preceding table shows that the area comprised within the present limits of the City of New York had an estimated population of 49.401 in 1790, which had grown to 696.115 in 1850, representing an increase of 646,714, or 1,309.1 per cent. The population of the present City of New York had grown to 2,507,414 in 1890, or an increase since 1850 of 1.811.299, or 260.2 per cent. Since 1890 there has been an increase of 929,788, or 37.1 per cent., the population in 1900 being 3,437,202. 28 77,912 29 30 31 32 27,188 12,338 7,634 Total,KingsCo. 1,166,582 838,547 599,495 49,680.14 Annex Includes swamp lands and unattached islands. 884.40 8,800.00 Total. |
