Jonas Jonson Bronck (born towards 1600, died in 1643) was immigrant a Swedish which gave its name to the Borough Bronx like with the Bronx River. Johnson would have been born in the province from the Småland towards 1600, and instead of working in the farm that its family exploited, it decided to become sailor what involved it with the Japan and in India. He married Teuntje Joriaens on July 6th 1638, with Amsterdam, before his wife does not decide to migrate in North America.
In June 1639, Bronck sailed on the East River on a boat baptized De Brant Van Toryen (i.e. the “Trojan horse” in Dutch) before being established with Harlem on a small ground where it exploited a farm. But in 1643, it perishes during an attack of Indians, and its ground was sold. The zone where its farm was located called Broncksland only during the XVIIe century; on the other hand, the river running of north in the south along the old farm of the current continued to be called Bronck' S River , before the name is not simply shortened in Bronx River . Bronck gave thereafter its name to the Bronx.
