Allerton is a small section of the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx, in New York City. It refers to the area surrounding Allerton Avenue. Allerton Avenue, located in the southern portion of the Williamsbridge area, was etnically divided in the 1950's through the 1980's by a distinct separation of Jewish and Italian residents. Primarily a commercial avenue west of Laconia Avenue, the geographic boundary between the Jewish and Italians was Bronxwood Avenue and Boston Post Road.Bordering to the largely Jewish Pelham Parkway to the southern extreme of Williamsbridge, the area east of Boston Road was predominately post war immigrant Italian and to the west an older Jewish community. Mixed in were residents representing earlier 19th and 20th century migrations from Manhattan largely of Irish and English- Irish extraction. The arrival of West Indians in the 1980's marked the transition north of Allerton Avenue from a distincly Italian area to one West Indian. West of Bronxwood Ave, the arrival of Dominicans concurrently with the arrival of the Dominicans, marked the end of the Jewish community north of Allerton Ave. Williamsbridge is a section of the East Bronx in New York City. ...
