The History of the Upper West Side in NYC, NY
The Upper West Side is an iconic neighborhood in NYC, NY. The indigenous Lenape people originally traversed the land. In the 18th and early 19th century, the Upper West Side was often called the Bloomingdale District. There were farms and villages along Bloomingdale Road. Slowly, the farms and villages were incorporated into the city.
The Upper West Side was a major shipping corridor because of its location on the Hudson River. As the city developed, Bloomingdale Road was renamed Broadway, and Central Park was created. The subway brought further expansion to the neighborhood in the early 20th century.
Today, the Upper West Side is one of the most visited neighborhoods in Manhattan. Residents and tourists frequent many cultural institutions and landmarks, including:
- American Museum of Natural History
- Lincoln Center
- American Folk Art Museum
- Central Park
- New York Historical Society
There is also no shortage of restaurants, bars, and shopping.
