Population for 1S45 included in Westchester.

During the ten years the total population increased 32,284, of which increase 22,401 was in the Towns of West Farms (including Westchester), Yonkers, Eastchester, and Greenburgh -- that is, in the localities brought within a comparatively short and inexpensive railway ride of New York. In former times, before railways existed, the local gains in population had invariably been without special reference to nearness to New York. A journey to the business sections of the city, even from Morrisania or Fordham, then involved a ride by carriage or stage of protracted duration; and thus for persons having daily business in New York, regular residence in any section of Westchester Comity was out of the question. Indeed, the tendency had steadily been toward a much larger growth in such remote towns as Sing Sing and Peekskill than in the nearby communities.
