Cover art for January 25, 1775: the Kings Bridge, which was orignally built in 1693 and crossed Spuyten Duyvil Creek between modern-day Bronx and Manhattan

In this episode you’re going to learn a bunch of things about the general geography of the Bronx, and how some places got their names.

It’s actually interesting enough that may have to take some cameras up there and show you just how much the area has changed, and not just in a “what was wilderness then is city blocks now” way. It’s more like a “we needed to make this waterway safer for navigation, so we changed its path” kind of way.
