Which New York borough was named for an early settler?

And the answer is ...

b) The Bronx

Unlike Brooklyn and Staten Island, whose names have their roots in the Dutch language, or Manhattan, whose name comes from the Native American Lenape tribe, the Bronx gets its name from a settler who owned most of the land in the area: Jonas Bronck. a Swedish immigrant who lived in the 17th century.

When Bronck died, his land, known as "Bronck's Land" (say it out loud!), was sold off to multiple buyers, but the name "Bronck's" stuck, although the spelling has changed to the way we see it today!
