Washington Heights: Dominican Manhattan
Washington Heights occupies the northern part of Manhattan between roughly 155th Street and Dyckman Street. The neighborhood is named for Fort Washington, the American fortification captured by British and Hessian forces in November 1776. Population sits near 153,000, and the area has one of the largest Dominican communities in the United States, with heavy Dominican migration from the 1960s onward.
The George Washington Bridge crosses the Hudson River from Washington Heights to Fort Lee, New Jersey. Opened in 1931 with a single deck, a lower deck was added in 1962. It is among the busiest motor vehicle bridges in the world, with roughly 104 million vehicle crossings per year. The Hispanic Society Museum & Library on Audubon Terrace, founded in 1904, holds one of the most important collections of Spanish and Latin American art outside of Spain.
The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to medieval European art and architecture, sits at the northern tip of the neighborhood in Fort Tryon Park. Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital occupy a large campus along Broadway and Fort Washington Avenue, ranking among the biggest employers in the borough.
