Williamsbridge, Residential neighborhood in North Bronx, United States
White Plains Road forms the central thoroughfare of Williamsbridge, connecting multi-family residences, local businesses, and community centers across the neighborhood's flat terrain.
The neighborhood received its name from John Williams, who constructed the first bridge over the Bronx River in 1693, establishing a vital connection between Westchester County and Manhattan.
The demographic composition shifted from Jewish and Italian-American residents to a Caribbean and West Indian population, bringing new traditions to the neighborhood after 1980.
The 47th Precinct of the New York Police Department monitors the area from their headquarters at 4111 Laconia Avenue, maintaining safety for local residents.
The Williamsbridge Oval provides recreational facilities, including sports fields, playgrounds, and a community center where residents gather for various activities.
