Division 2 had its origin in Mid Town Manhattan in 1869 as the Upper District, coming under command of the 2nd Assistant Chief in 1883. It was moved to the Lower East Side/East Village in 1906, splitting Division 1, while its previous battalions went to Division 3. With the closure of five Lower Manhattan engine companies and Battalion 2, Division 2 was disbanded in 1948. It was reorganized in 1951 when Battalion 2 was re-established but Division 2 was again disbanded in 1956 to become Division 6 when Battalion 3 moved to the Bronx. Interestingly, Battalion 3 retained their numerical identity in the move but Division 2 became Division 6 in the Bronx. Division 2 was re-established briefly from 1995 to 1997 in Midtown Manhattan.
