A Little More About The Bronx 

The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, in the U.S. state of New York. Coextensive with Bronx County, it was the last of the 62counties of New York State to be incorporated. Located north of Manhattan and Queens, and south of Westchester County, the Bronx is the only borough that is located primarily on the mainland.

The Bronx River was named after Jonas Bronck, who created the first settlement as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639, and eventually lent its name to the entire borough

Jonas Bronck (died 1643) was an immigrant to the Dutch colony of New Netherland after whom the Bronx River, and by extension, the county       and New York City borough of The Bronx are named. A mural at theBronx County Courthouse depicting Bronck’s arrival was created in the early 1930s by James Monroe Hewlett.

The history of the Bronx started with European colonization in 1639. The Bronx was originally part of Westchester County, but it was ceded to New York County in fragments before it became Bronx County.

The Bronx is the only County named after a commoner.  Farmer Jonas Bronck.  Kings County, Richmond County, Queens County were named after royalty.
