The old Westchester County Towns of Morrisania, West Farms, and Kingsbridge, annexed to New York City in 1874, had a population in 1890 of 71,085 according to the federal census, and of 81,255 according to the police enumeration. In 1892 a State census was taken, which gave Westchester County a total of 117,830, and the three annexed towns a total of 86,757. Local enumerations in the cities and villages of the county were made in 1898, whose1 results will be included at the end of this chapter. The incorporation of the City of Mount Vernon was effected by a legislative act passed March 12, 1892. At the first city election, held in the succeeding May, Dr. Edward P. Brush was chosen mayor.1 By the organization of the city the old Town of Eastchester was dismembered-- in fact, divided into two remotely separated parts, with Mount Vernon lying betwixt them. The lower part of Eastchester Town lias since been annexed to New York City. The development of Mount Vernon in all municipal regards has been extremely rapid and most creditable during the eight years of its existence as a city.
