Description From 1898 to 1902, NYC had a bicameral legislature. The upper house (Council) had several members elected from each State Senate district, while the lower house (Aldermen) were each elected from an assembly district. This arrangement, which had previously existed for some time in the 19th Century, apparently only existed for one term in Greater New York.
