In this video:
Why? In New Amsterdam, Bronck owned a 680 acre farm which was called, unimaginatively, “Bronck’s Land” and the river abutting it “Bronck’s River.” He held this land for just four years before dying in 1643. From there, various people owned this property, keeping the name Bronck’s Land, until Colonel Lewis Morris acquired it and renamed it the “Manor of Morrisania.”

As a Bronxite I feel DEEPLY honored that you shout us out! I was born, raised and still live here. 😍😍 Thanks! and yeah! You are right. In High School I wrote a paper about how The Bronx got it's name. Its very interesting. Its interesting to think that this land use to just be farm land and now we have so many houses and shopping here. I want to move to another city - but The Bronx - The Bx will always be my home. ❤ ☺ This video made my day. :)

@billslocum9819 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's what I wonder. Why "The" Bronx, rather than just "Bronx." We don't say "The Queens" or "The Brooklyn." The closest "the" I can think of is "The Netherlands," but there's a reason for that, it being multiple lands joined together.

@nickjordan1125 7 жыл бұрын

The "the" on that road sign in the video is not capitalized, though. So someone with more authority in NY state than you or I decided that it is NOT that important. Lol.

@Sanderos25 7 жыл бұрын

The Netherlands is a fair point. But take a look at another Country, The Gambia. Just like The Bronx named after a river. Not fair though since The Gambia added 'The' to not sound so similar to Zambia. Coming up is just speculation; in The Netherlands there are a lot of cities and towns also preceded with The(Den & De), or Of The(Des & 's), some examples: Den Helder, 's-Gravenhage, 's-Hertogenbosch, De Bilt and Dozens more. The adding of The at The Bronx might be remnant of the Dutch influence in the city.

I'm surprised he didn't deal with that. The borough is named for the river - "The Borough of the Bronx [River]". Later on, people forgot that; since it was the Borough of the Bronx, they just dropped the "Borough of" formality and called the land "the Bronx". (Whether it should be capitalized as "The Bronx" is still an issue people can't decide; I think most would say no.) A story I used to hear growing up is that it was named for Jonas Bronck *and his family*, that is, "the Broncks", but alas it isn't so.
