The first to settle in the Bronx were the Dutch, who established a settlement in the 17th century. They named the area after the Bronx River, which was named after Jonas Bronck, a Swedish settler who bought land there in 1639. Following the Dutch, the area saw an influx of various immigrant groups, including the English and later the Irish and Italians, contributing to its diverse cultural landscape.
