Bronx
The Bronx, named for the Swedish settler Jonas Bronck, was settled in 1639. It is located at the northernmost tip of the New York City and is the only borough not located on an island. The Bronx has more parkland than any of the other boroughs, a renowned botanical garden, a world-famous zoo, stately mansions, historic sites, a "Little Italy", beaches and City Island, an island reminiscent of a New England fishing village.
