The Bronx River: An Interactive Map
Before the Bronx River was as we know it today, it was a fundamental part of the society of indigenous tribes of the area. One particular tribe is the Lenape; they occupied land from the southern part of the Delaware river base to New Jersey and upstate New York. The Lenape of the Bronx River area were coastal Lenape or Unami.
The Bronx River Alliance serves as a coordinated voice for the river and works in harmonious partnership to protect, improve and restore the Bronx River corridor so that it can be a healthy ecological, recreational, educational and economic resource for the communities through which the river flows.
The Alliance works in close partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and with over one hundred other partners to reclaim the Bronx River.
