Manhattan College is a Catholic college in the Lasallian tradition in New York City. In spite of the college's name, it is no longer located in Manhattan but in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York; while many scoff at this irony, the college is actually less than a mile from the northernmost point of Manhattan, which is at 228th Street and Broadway, 14 blocks (about 3/4 mile) south of the college which is located at 242nd Street and Broadway.
The college was founded in 1853 by five French LaSallian Brothers in a small building on Canal Street. When the need to expand forced them from Lower Manhattan, the College moved to 131st Street and Broadway, in the Manhattanville section of Harlem.
It became known as Manhattan College in 1863 and moved to its present location in Riverdale in 1922 as it outgrew its facilities in Manhattanville.
