برونكس، أحد الأحياء الخمسة لمدينة نيويورك وتقع في أقصي الشمال الشرقي. وهي أحدث المقاطعات ال62 لولاية نيويورك. وتقع في شمال شرق منهاتن وجنوب مقاطعة وستشستر، نيويورك، وبرونكس هي الحي الوحيد الذي لا يقع بصفة أساسية على جزيرة. في عام 2009، حسب تقديرات مكتب تقديرات الولايات المتحدة، وصل عدد سكان برونكس في 1 يوليو 2009 إلى 1,391,903,[1] يعيشون على مساحة 42 ميل مربع (109 كيلو متر مربع). مما يجعل برونكس الرابعة من أكبر خمس أحياء مكتظة بالسكان، الرابعة من حيث المساحة، وثالث الأحياء الأمريكية من حيث الكثافة السكانية.

The name "Bronx" originated with Swedish-born Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.[2][3][4] The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by European settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant and migrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany, Italy and Eastern Europe) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic), as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.[5] This cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of Latin music, hip hop and rock.

The Bronx contains the poorest congressional district in the United States, the 15th. There are, however, some upper-income, as well as middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park, and Country Club.[6][7][8] Parts of the Bronx saw a decline in population, livable housing and quality of life in the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s culminating in a wave of arson. The South Bronx, in particular, experienced severe urban decay. The borough experienced some redevelopment starting in the 1990s, preceding a more recent period of gentrification.[9]

Map of the Bronx in 1867

The Bronx was called Rananchqua[12] by the native Siwanoy[13] band of Lenape (also known historically as the Delawares), while other Native Americans knew the Bronx as Keskeskeck.[14] It was divided by the Aquahung River.

The origin of the person of Jonas Bronck (1600–43ح. 1600–43) has been contested. Documents indicate that he was a Swedish-born emigrant from Komstad, Norra Ljunga parish, in Småland, Sweden, who arrived in New Netherland during the spring of 1639.[4][15][16][17][18][19] Bronck became the first recorded European settler in the present-day Bronx and built a farm named "Emmaus" close to what today is the corner of Willis Avenue and 132nd Street in Mott Haven.[20] He leased land from the Dutch West India Company on the neck of the mainland immediately north of the Dutch settlement of New Haarlem (on Manhattan Island), and bought additional tracts from the local tribes. He eventually accumulated 500 acres (200 ha) between the Harlem River and the Aquahung, which became known as Bronck's River or the Bronx [River]. Dutch and English settlers referred to the area as Bronck's Land.[15] The American poet William Bronk was a descendant of Pieter Bronck, either Jonas Bronck's son or his younger brother, but most probably a nephew or cousin, as there was an age difference of 16 years.[21] Much work on the Swedish claim has been undertaken by Brian G. Andersson, former Commissioner of NYC's Dept. of Records, who assisted in organizing a 375th Anniversary celebration in Bronck's hometown in 2014.[22]

التاريخ

European colonization of the Bronx began in 1639. The Bronx was originally part of Westchester County, but it was ceded to New York County in two major parts (West Bronx, 1874 and East Bronx, 1895) before it became Bronx County. Originally, the area was part of the Lenape's Lenapehoking territory inhabited by Siwanoy of the Wappinger Confederacy. Over time, European colonists converted the borough into farmlands.
