Kings Bridge: Northwest Bronx Crossroads
Kings Bridge, also written as Kingsbridge, occupies a slope in the northwestern Bronx near the Harlem River. Population is around 75,000. The neighborhood is named for the King's Bridge, built in 1693 across Spuyten Duyvil Creek to link Manhattan with the mainland. The original bridge was a toll crossing owned by Frederick Philipse; it was abandoned in the 19th century and later buried beneath fill.
The Kingsbridge Armory on Jerome Avenue, completed in 1917, was once the largest armory in the world. It covers roughly five acres under its roof. The building has been the subject of multiple redevelopment proposals, including a major ice sports center that received city support but had not been completed as of recent reporting.
The 1 train terminates at Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street at the western edge of the neighborhood, and the 4 train runs along Jerome Avenue at the eastern edge. Manhattan College sits at the top of the hill above the 242nd Street subway stop. Van Cortlandt Park, 1,146 acres of parkland, borders the neighborhood to the north.
