Yonkers, NY: History and Fun Facts

After the English took over the colony in 1664 and called it New York, the estate came into the hands of another Dutchman, who had changed his name from Flipsen to the more English sounding Philipse. Frederick Philipse worked his way up from a carpenter to the richest man in the colony, and had the present Philipse Manor Hall erected at the junction of the Hudson and Nepperhan Rivers. This strategic location at this junction became the driving force that resulted in Yonkers' growth into a major trading center. Early settlers of Yonkers, including Native Americans, English and Dutch, created the flavor of a diverse cosmopolitan population that remains through the present day.

TheVillage of Yonkers was incorporated on April 12, 1855, at that time extending approximately two miles along the Hudson River with an average width of about one mile and a population of approximately 7,500. On June 1, 1872, the charter establishing Yonkers as a city was signed by Governor Hoffman; by this time, the population had swelled to about 20,000 and was well on its way to the nearly-tenfold number of residents in Yonkers today.

Its notable residents over the years have included William Boyce Thompson, copper magnate, C.C. Dula, former head of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, Ella Fitzgerald and W.C. Handy, two of the world's most beloved cultural figures, and John E. Andrus, head of the New York Pharmaceutical Association (later Arlington Chemical Company in Yonkers) a mayor of the City, a U.S. Congressman (1905 to 1913) and philanthropist whose trust funds have established the Julia Dykman Andrus Home for Children, John F. Andrus home for Aged and St. John's Hospital. Some widely renowned people who worked in Yonkers were John Masefield,
