Boundaries?

Having lived in the area for a while while attending the university of the same name, I would respectfully disagree with the boundaries of this neighborhood stated in this article.

I do believe that the Fordham neighborhood does not extend as far north as 196th Street, and that Bedford Park begins below there. I'll see what kind of sourcing I can find on this, as I do recall an official source substantiates this impression.--Mantanmoreland 13:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your impression - I changed the northern boundary of Fordham from 196th Street to 194th Street/Kingsbridge Road. I don't think the northern boundary should go any lower than 196th Street because I also get the impression that Fordham does go above Fordham Road at least a couple of blocks. In the article, I had also previously put down Webster Avenue as the neighborhood's western boundary. Would you agree with this? -EJ220 22:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many if not most Bronxites now refer to Fordham as anything within walking distance of Fordham Road to be honest. Could be far south as the Cross Bronx, far north as Mosholu Parkway. The "official" Fordham area is between Jerome and Webster Avenues, south of Fordham Road down to East Burnside. Fordham-Bedford is north of Fordham Road to Bedford Park Blvd between Jerome and Webster. The name Fordham-Bedford is in newer usage in reflection to the changing demographics south of Bedford Park Blvd (was once just just Bedford Park). Fordham-Bedford now mirrors the economic demographics of Fordham, it was once the transition area. Bedford Park is on it's way there if not already. It's tricky but the borders are always changing as the economic demographics from the South Bronx push north. Wikiwiki718 (talk) 02:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unbalanced

This article maintains a negative tone, and includes a number of unsourced statements, or statements that are misinterpreted or don't substatiate the text, presented in such a way as to present evidence for a negative impression. Shoreranger (talk) 17:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I happen to agree on this article being unbalanced. Being that I was raised in Fordham, and was a memebr of The Bronx County Historical Society. I have written an article, extending much into The History of Fordham, from it's early colonial days as Old Fordham Village. and extending to the present boundries of Fordham Today. Yes... To the North, Fordham extends up to about 196th. Street. To the South, it extends originally to about 187th. Street, but extends to Tremont Avenue (known as South Fordham). To the East to about Southern Blvd., but a portion of what is known as "Little Italy", has been re-named Belmont. To the West, to about Jerome Avenue, with a portion overlaying into what is called Kingsbridge.
