		Bronck's home was later the site of a peace treaty signed by the natives and Dutch authorities; religious leader Anne Hutchinson and her family were casualties of that treaty being broken.
		An inventory of Bronck's estate done after his untimely death in 1643 indicated that he was a man of culture, having brought to his wilderness home a rather large library, filled with navigational books; a silver table service; fine clothing; and even a Japanese cutlass.
		These established Bronck's date of birth as being around 1600 and his birthplace as being "Coonstay" in "Smolach." Examination of the betrothal certificate's translation showed Bronck's full name as Jonas Jonasson Bronck-thus his father's name was not Morten, and our man Bronck was therefore not the son of the Danish pastor.

		Jonas Bronck Academy is based on the philosophy that it's better to teach a few subjects well than to offer a smattering of every imaginable elective.
		One Jonas Bronck Academy mother said the small group gave her shy daughter the confidence she needed to speak in class, and added she's sure her child would have dropped out of school were it not for the approach of Jonas Bronck.
		Another mother, however, complained that the cooperative learning cheated the high-achievers, who acted as peer-tutors to the group and weren't able to move ahead at their own pace.

	Our History • W. L. Garrison School
		It wasn't until thirty years later in in 1639 that Jonas Bronck bought a large portion of land in the Bronx from the Native Americans there.
		Because Bronck was the first European settler, and because the river that ran through his purchase bore his name, many years later, when cartographers and planners were looking for a name for the whole area, they settled in his.
		For the next hundred years, the Bronx was settled lightly, a pleasant quaint little village filled with farms and the country houses of the landed elite in New York.

		A Swedish sea captain named Jonas Bronck left his home in the Netherlands and staked his claim on 500 acres north of the Harlem River in present-day New York, becoming the first European settler in the area.
		He proceeded to slap his name on pretty much everything in the area, but the only one that stuck was the river, which became (and still is) known as The Bronx River.
		According to Jonas’ descendants, it is simply a phonetic shortcut in the Dutch language to indicate the possessive form of his name.

	A SHORT BRONX HISTORY
		Way back in 1639, a man named JONAS BRONCK, arrived to this part of the world we now know as the borough of The Bronx.
		No one really knows for sure why the spelling changed from Bronck to Bronx, but the most logical explanation was that when the outsiders wanted to visit, they would say something like, "let's go to the Bronck's Farm", meaning it belonged to someone named Bronck.
		It was a very quiet area and the neighborhoods were like suburbs.
