Allerton is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of The Bronx. It is named in honor of Isaac Allerton, a passenger on the Mayflower, who is listed at the memorial at Plymouth Rock. It includes the sub-neighborhoods of Bronxwood and Laconia. When the area was being highly developed around the turn of the last century, Irish and English-Irish dominated. The area became more Jewish and Italian from the 1950's thru the 1980's, and since then has become populated by more West Indians, Dominicans, Hispanics, and Albanians.
