Hvem har lagt navn til jerome avenue i bronx?
Leonard Jerome
Jerome Avenue blev anlagt som en plankevej i 1874 for 375.000 dollars. Den blev vist på kort som Central Avenue, fordi den startede fra Macombs Dam Bridge til Jerome Park Racetrack.  Borough President Louis F. Haffen valgte i 1897 entreprenører til at brolægge Jerome Avenue.  Tre afsnit af vejen skulle ombygges, hvilket kostede Bronx omkring 136.505 dollars. Gaden skulle omdøbes efter en ukendt rådmand. Kate Hall Jerome, hustru til Lawrence Jerome, var rasende og erstattede alle skiltene med navnet Jerome Avenue til ære for Jerome Park Racetrack, der blev åbnet af hendes mands finansmand, Leonard Jerome, i 1866. Da undergrundsbanen blev taget i brug, gik Jerome fra landvej til handelsvej.

Jerome Avenue was put together as a plank road in 1874 for $375,000. It appeared on maps as Central Avenue, because it started from Macombs Dam Bridge to Jerome Park Racetrack.  Borough President Louis F. Haffen selected contractors in 1897 to pave Jerome Avenue.  Three sections of the road were to be remodeled, costing the Bronx about $136,505. The street was to be renamed after an unknown city alderman. Kate Hall Jerome, wife of Lawrence Jerome, was furious, replacing all the signs with the name Jerome Avenue in honor of Jerome Park Racetrack opened by her husband's financier brother, Leonard Jerome in 1866. When the subway line was commissioned, Jerome went from rural road to commercial artery.
