Boweryite (inhabitant of the Bowery)

“Boweryite” is the name of an inhabitant of the Bowery, in the borough of Manhattan. The name “Boweryite” has been cited in print since at least 1857.
 
The term “Hoboweryite” (hobo + Boweryite) was coined by syndicated columnist Walter Winchell (1897-1972) in 1942.

Bowery (pron.: /ˈbaʊ.əri/ or New York English [ˈbaʊ̯.ri]), commonly called “the Bowery” and, less commonly, “Bowery Street”, is a street/neighborhood in the southern portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The neighborhood’s boundaries are East 4th Street and the East Village to the north, Canal Street and Chinatown to the South, Allen Street and the Lower East Side to the east and Little Italy to the west.
 
Bowery is an anglicisation of the Dutch bouwerij, derived from an antiquated Dutch word for “farm.” In the 17th century, the road branched off Broadway north of Fort Amsterdam at the tip of Manhattan to the homestead of Peter Stuyvesant, Director-General of New Netherland. As a street, the Bowery was known as Bowery Lane prior to 1807. Today, it runs from Chatham Square in the south to Cooper Square at 4th Street in the north. After Cooper Square, the street runs north as Third Avenue and to the northwest as Fourth Avenue.
