Port Morris, Bronx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Morris is a section in the South Bronx. It is known as the "Gateway of the Bronx" due to it being the southernmost portion of the borough. It is surrounded by Mott Haven to the north, the Bronx Kill to the south, the East River to the east, and the Harlem River to the west.
The area is dominated by factories and warehouses. Recently, gentrification has greatly improved the status of Port Morris. The nearest subway is the 6 train, located along 138th Street in Mott Haven. Some developers and landlords refer to the neighborhood as "SoBro" (South Bronx) in an attempt to counter the negative stereotype of the South Bronx.
