Bronx County Summary
Bronx County, NY is located in the southeastern part of New York State and is part of the five boroughs of New York City.

Bronx County is the fourth most populous county in New York State and the third most densely populated county in the United States.
History
The Bronx was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans. The first European settlers arrived in 1639 and the area was named after the Swedish sea captain Jonas Bronck.

The Bronx experienced a period of rapid growth in the early 20th century, with the population increasing from 200,000 in 1900 to 1.2 million in 1930. This growth was largely due to the influx of immigrants from Europe, particularly from Italy and Ireland. The Bronx also experienced a period of decline in the mid-20th century, with the population dropping from 1.2 million in 1930 to 1 million in 1970. This decline was largely due to the out-migration of middle-class residents to the suburbs.
