My apologies for taking some time to get back to you. I do have a few book recommendations about the history of the Bronx (growing up in Yonkers I spent a ton of time there, and it is actually my favorite outer borough, shh)! I highly recommend Lloyd Ultan’s The Northern Borough: A History of the Bronx, which provides an excellent look at the settlement and growth of the borough. I also enjoyed used Twomey’s The Bronx in Bits and Pieces. If you’re interested in the origin of street and place names (which I most certainly am), then consider checking out John McNamara’s History in Asphalt: The Origin of Bronx Street & Place Names Encyclopedia.
