Bronxville Village Goes for Clinton; Receives over Sixty Percent of Votes

alt


By Staff


Nov. 16, 2016:  The seven election districts in the Village of Bronxville have now reported their vote counts to the Westchester County Board of Elections. On the morning after the presidential election, Bronxville election districts 17 and 20 had not reported their counts.

According to Bronxville Republican chair Rene Atayan, malfunctions with the tapes in those two districts prevented them from immediately providing a count. The situation was eventually corrected.

The final unofficial count for Hillary Clinton is 1,938, or 61.2% of the vote, with 1,899 votes from the Democrats, 20 from the Workers Party, and 19 from the WEP (Women's Equality Party).  

For Donald J. Trump, the count is 1,085, or 34.3% of the vote, with 63 votes from the Conservative Party and 1,022 from the Republicans.  

Minor party candidates received 144 votes, or 4.5%.

The total turnout in the village was 3,167. The total canvass by district is as follows:

District 16:  521
District 17:  504
District 18:  311
District 19:  422
District 20:  542
District 21:  330
District 22:  537

This was only the second time since 1920 that Bronxville cast more votes for the Democratic candidate for president than the Republican candidate. The only other time was in 2008, when more Bronxville residents voted for Obama than for McCain. The chart below (with the exception of the 2016 numbers) was researched and compiled by Bronxville resident Marilynn Hill and was provided by The Bronxville Historical Conservancy.

Note:  One asterisk, national winner; bold names, Bronxville winner. Two asterisks, preliminary numbers.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
