Yonkers: Hudson River City in Westchester
Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester County, with a population of roughly 211,000. It sits on the east bank of the Hudson River immediately north of the Bronx. The name comes from the Dutch Jonkheer, referring to Adriaen van der Donck, who held a patroonship in the area in the 17th century.
The Saw Mill River, which runs through downtown, was buried under a parking lot and streets in the 1920s. Starting in 2010 the city began daylighting the river, bringing it back to the surface in a series of projects at Larkin Plaza and Mill Street Courtyard. The project created a linear waterfront park through the downtown area and was cited by planners nationally as an example of urban stream restoration.
Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway operates as a racino, combining live harness racing on a historic track with slot-style video lottery terminals. The raceway itself dates to 1899. Hudson River Museum on Warburton Avenue combines art exhibits with the Glenview Mansion, an 1876 Victorian house, and a planetarium.
