Morrisania is a neighborhood in the southwestern Bronx named after the historic Manor of Morrisania, a 2,000-acre estate whose owners included Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Gouverneur Morris, who penned the final draft of the U.S. Constitution. The neighborhood suffered devastating arson and abandonment in the 1970s but has since undergone significant rehabilitation, and is celebrated as one of the birthplaces of hip-hop — the home neighborhood of Grandmaster Flash, Thelonious Monk, and Big Pun.
