Having lived in the area for a while while attending the university of the same name, I would respectfully disagree with the boundaries of this neighborhood stated in this article.
I agree with your impression - I changed the northern boundary of Fordham from 196th Street to 194th Street/Kingsbridge Road. I don't think the northern boundary should go any lower than 196th Street because I also get the impression that Fordham does go above Fordham Road at least a couple of blocks. In the article, I had also previously put down Webster Avenue as the neighborhood's western boundary. Would you agree with this? - EJ220 22:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
This article maintains a negative tone, and includes a number of unsourced statements, or statements that are misinterpreted or don't substatiate the text, presented in such a way as to present evidence for a negative impression. Shoreranger ( talk) 17:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I happen to agree on this article being unbalanced. Being that I was raised in Fordham, and was a memebr of The Bronx County Historical Society. I have written an article, extending much into The History of Fordham, from it's early colonial days as Old Fordham Village. and extending to the present boundaries of Fordham Today. Yes... To the North, Fordham extends up to about 196th. Street. To the South, it extends originally to about 187th. Street, but extends to Tremont Avenue (known as South Fordham). To the East to about Southern Blvd., but a portion of what is known as Bronx "Little Italy", has been re-named Belmont. To the West, to about Jerome Avenue, with a portion overlaying into what is called Kingsbridge.

I wonder if the Old Fordham Village article, which is nicely done, should be merged into the main Fordham article. BTW, I went to school, K-12, in the Fordham area (PS 33, JHS 79, old BxSci), and I never heard of Old Fordham Village, so I learned much from it. And it would be great to source some statements and possibly rebalance Bellagio99 ( talk) 19:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Back in the 1920's, on the corner of Fordham Road and Webster Avenue (this building still exists) was the home of "The Raoul Barre Studios", it was an art school. Students that attended, would eventually become known as "Early Cartoon Animators". Many found work for Animator-Director, Paul Terry of " Terrytoons" fame. One day in the early 1930's, a young upstart in animation came to The Barre Studio, and announced that he was going to start an animation studio in Los Angeles, California, and needed good artists. To Barre's surprise, almost half of his staff and students went with him that day. this upstart was none other than " Walt Disney". The building was on the former site of the Old Fordham Hotel and Taverine, from where renown poet-writer, Edgar Allan Poe was seen there frequently, when he lived in Fordham.

You might read the published book " The Art of Walt Disney", published 1973, By Harry N. Abrams, (ISBN: )-8109-0122-6). It is possible that Raoul Barre may have left prior, but the studio was still active? At his height, Barre chose The Edison Studios, what is now called the " Fordham-Bedford, Bronx" section of New York City.
