The area that is now called Mott Haven was sold to the Morris family in 1670. The first time the spelling "Bronx land" was used, was in 1697 in the First Legislature outlined the County of West Chester. Įven though Bronck only lived in the area for four years, the land became known as "Broncksland" and the river that bordered his land kept the name Bronck's River. This event is portrayed in a painting by the American artist John Ward Dunsmore (1856–1945). The peace treaty between Dutch authorities and the Wecquaesgeek chiefs Ranaqua and Tackamuckwas was signed in Bronck's house. The house was located close to what is today the corner of Willis Avenue and 132nd Street. Bronck built his farm on this land and named it "Emmanus". In 1639, the Dutch West India Company purchased the land of today's Mott Haven from the Wecquaesgeek (groups of Lenape tribe). The Bronx was named after the Swedish sea captain Jonas Bronck.
