A little History of Washington Height Among the most beautiful areas of New York City, these two neighborhoods (WaHI for short) are rich in history, culture, and wonderfully diverse people. This Web site aims to be the most comprehensive source of information on WaHI and is dedicated to providing residents with a space where they can share information. Its mission is to encourage communication, empower our citizens, and build community. < Washington Heights is on the high ridge in Upper Manhattan that rises steeply north of the narrow valley that carries 125th Street to the former ferry landing on the Hudson River. Though the neighborhood was once considered to run as far south as 125th Street, modern usage defines the neighborhood as running north from Harlem (Hamilton Heights) at 155th Street to Inwood, topping out just below Dyckman Street. Manhattan's highest point Ten blocks from the northern end of Washington Heights, in its Hudson Heights neighborhood near Pinehurst Avenue and 183rd Street in Bennett Park, is a plaque marking Manhattan's highest natural elevation, 265 ft (80.8 m) above sea level, at what was the location of Fort Washington, the Revolutionary War camp of General George Washington and his troops, from whom Washington Heights takes its name. Four blocks North of this point is a 32-story building belonging to Yeshiva University of which its topmost floor is at the highest altitude of any NYC fixed structure. In the early 1900s Irish immigrants moved to Washington Heights. European Jews went to Washington Heights to escape Nazism during the 1930s and the 1940s. During the 1950s and 1960s many Greeks moved to Washington Heights; the community was referred to as the "Astoria of Manhattan." As the nickname became widespread, Cubans moved to the area. By the 1980s and 1990s the neighborhood became mostly Dominican. By the 2000s, after years when gangsters ruled a thriving illegal drug trade, urban renewal began. Many Dominicans moved to Morris Heights, University Heights, and other west Bronx neighborhoods. While gentrification is often blamed for rapid changes in the neighborhood, the changes in population mainly reflect the departure of the dominant nationality. As Dominicans left Manhattan for the Bronx, Mexicans and Ecuadorians have taken their place, according to The Latino Data Project of the City University of New York. The proportion of whites in Washington Heights has declined from 18 percent in 1990 to 14 percent in 2005. |
