East Sider or Eastsider

An “East Sider” (or “Eastsider,” also lowercase “east sider” and “eastsider”) is someone who inhabits the east side of a geographical area. “East-siders” was cited in print in November 1850, when it referred to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. An August 1853 citation of “east-siders” referred to Manhattan.
 
Similar Manhattan geographic nicknames include “West Sider,” “downtowner” and “uptowner.”
