Throgs Neck is a neighborhood in the northeastern Bronx, lying on a peninsula overlooking Long Island Sound to the north and east and the East River to the south.
The area was called Vriedelandt by the Dutch and derives its current name from John Throckmorton, n Englishman whom the Dutch allowed in 1642 to settle a colony in the area, which was eventually driven out by Indian uprisings.
The peninsula was mapped as Frockes Neck in 1668, and General George Washington wrote of Frogs Neck in his journal during an invasion of four thousand red- coats and Hessians in 1776.

 Throgs Neck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throgs Neck (more correctly spelled Throggs Neck) is a narrow spit of land in the southeastern portion of the borough of the Bronx in New York City.
"Throgs Neck" is also the name of the neighborhood on the peninsula, bounded to the north by East Tremont Avenue and Baisley Avenue and surrounded on all other sides by various bodies of water.
Technically, the correct spelling is with two "g's." NYC Parks Commissioner and Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Chairman Robert Moses shortened it to one "g" after deciding that the two would not fit on many of the street signs.
