The neighborhood was historically heavily Jewish and Italian-American. It became predominantly African American in the 1970s, and since the 1980s, has received an influx of Caribbean and West Indian immigrants. Currently, the neighborhood is predominately African-American. Williamsbridge was once called Edenwald, but it is claimed that Edenwald houses are part of Wakefield rather than of Williamsbridge. [citation needed] The Gun Hill housing projects are also located in the area.

Due to White flight some of the homes in the area have been left vacant. Many homes today are being rehabilitated and offered as rentals to the growing West Indian population found in the area.
