United States History. The Tweed Ring. William Boss Tweed began his rise to influence in the late 1840s as a volunteer fireman in New York City. From this inauspicious beginning, Tweed managed to build a power base in his ward. He served as an alderman in 1852-53 and then was elected to a term in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1853-55.
Famous Resident: William Magear âBossâ Tweed. It has been estimated that during his reign of corruption, William Magear (âBossâ) Tweed, the âTiger of Tammany,â and his political cronies stole $200 million (the equivalent of about $3.5 billion in todayâs money) from the citizens of New York.fter a campaign led by The New York Times and cartoonist Thomas Nast of Harperâs Weekly, Tweed was arrested for his crimes in 1871, and the Tweed Ring was finally forced from power. Tweed went to trial in November, 1873; ironically, his trial was held in the still-incomplete courthouse.
