In September of 1948, Area B, Area C, Area D, and Area W-- which covered New York and New Jersey-- were combined to form Region 2 as part of the 1948 integration into the twelve scouting regions.

In 1964, Area 2-A gains the six lodges from the defunct Area 2-F*. Nooteeming 443 was also moved from 2-A to 2-D:

*This is despite lodge listings by Price, Reynolds, and Weary that lists Area 2-F existing up until 1972.
**The online Buckskin Lodge Handbook also documents that in1965, "We were accepted back into Area 2-J...". I also assume that Shinnecock 360 would've been transferred at that time as well.

Unilachtigo 411 was founded 5/3/1949. However, they decided to change their name to Unilachtego because their name was too similar to Unalachtigo 168. They issued three arrowhead shaped patches with the earlier spelling, before this name change. "Area, Area Leaders, and Lodges" dated 5/13/1949 shows the new spelling.

*No record of what area Arawak 562 was actually a member of prior to the 1968 2-J conference. I'm assuming that they would've started out with Yokahú 506, since they were originally in the same council.

In 1953, Area 2-B is split, with six lodges forming Area 2-F:

After 2-F was dissolved at the end of 1963. Wakanta 84 and Mohican 178 were returned to 2-B, while the remaining six lodges were transferred to Area 2-A. This is despite lodge listings by Price, Reynolds, and Weary that lists Area 2-F existing up until 1972.

Yokahú 506 was founded in 1954 by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth who conducted their first Ordeal in Rio Piedras, and was orginally called Yukiyu 506.

Skanondo 64 (from 2-A 1965*)

Skanondo hosted 2-A in 1964 and 2-H in 1971. Dingwerth first lists them in 2-H in 1965.

In 1956, Area 2-J was organized on a experimental basis. In November, 1957 the five NYC lodges as well as Chappegat 15, Hanigus 47, Shinnecock 360, Buckskin 412 met at Camp Ranachqua, TMR. This appeared to be a one-time event or planning meeting, as the area wasn't formed until two years later.

In 1967, the NYC councils (Bronx 372, Brooklyn 369, Manhattan 384, and Queens 371) were consolidated into the Greater New York Councils #640. However, according to Councils of the BSA, Staten Island Council 396 didn't merge until 1968. It also showed that "Greater New York Council #719" had already been in operation since 1936, so I am not sure how that worked.

In 1960, Puerto Rico Council changed its name to Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands Council #661. In 1965, the US Virgin Islands were split off from the Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands Council, and formed the new Virgin Islands Council #410, in St. Thomas, VI.

On Jul 17, 1965, members from Buckskin 412 held the first Ordeal to induct the arrowmen for Arawak Lodge #562, which was chartered 1966.

BSA National Office, which was also headquartered in New York City, moved to New Brunswick, NJ in 1957.
