South Bronx
The South Bronx is an area of the New York City borough of the Bronx. The geographic definitions of the South Bronx have evolved and are disputed but certainly include the neighborhoods of Mott Haven, Melrose and Port Morris. The neighborhoods of Belmont, Castle Hill, Crotona Park East, Highbridge, Hunts Point, Longwood, Morrisania and Soundview are sometimes considered part of the South Bronx.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/1981/02/10/nyregion/in-belmont-area-of-south-bronx-fear-and-crime-are-remote-concerns.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/neighborhood-guide-bronx-castle-hill-article-1.417029 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/23/nyregion/23bronx.html?_r=3&hp=&pagewanted=all& )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/06/high-bridge-reopens-the-bronx-to-foot-power.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/hunt-point-south-bronx-most-improved-neighborhood-stays-article-1.354683 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nypap.org/content/longwood-historic-district )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150414/soundview/city-adds-about-600-new-pre-k-seats-south-bronx-city-educators-say )〕

== History ==
The South Bronx was originally called the Manor of Morrisania, and later Morrisania. It was the private domain of the powerful and aristocratic Morris family, which includes Lewis Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Gouverneur Morris, penman of the United States Constitution. The Morris memorial is at St. Ann's Church of Morrisania. Morris' descendants own land in the South Bronx to this day.
As the Morrises developed their landholdings, an influx of German and Irish immigrants populated the area. Later, the Bronx was considered the "Jewish Borough," and at its peak in 1930 was 49% Jewish.〔(:: Bronx County Clerks Office :: )〕 Jews in the South Bronx numbered 364,000 or 57.1% of the total population in the area.〔(Bronx Synagogues - Historical Survey )〕 The term was first coined in the 1940s by a group of social workers who identified the Bronx's first pocket of poverty, in the Port Morris section, the southernmost section of the Bronx.
