Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

The Bronx, located in New York City, has a rich and diverse history that dates back to the 17th century when it was inhabited by the Lenape Native American tribe. In the 1600s, European settlers began to establish small farms in the area until the Bronx was eventually annexed by New York City in 1895. Throughout the early 20th century, the Bronx experienced rapid growth and urbanization as immigrant populations, particularly from Ireland, Italy, and Eastern Europe, settled in the area. The Bronx became known for its vibrant cultural scene, with numerous theaters, music venues, and art galleries attracting visitors from across the city. However, the Bronx also faced significant challenges in the latter half of the 20th century, as economic decline, poverty, and crime rates soared. The construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway in the 1950s further divided neighborhoods and displaced communities. In recent years, the Bronx has experienced a revitalization, with efforts to preserve historic landmarks, promote economic development, and improve quality of life for residents. Today, the Bronx is a diverse and dynamic borough that continues to evolve and thrive.
