In 1639, Jonas Bronck settled in this area with the idea of creating farmland outside of colonial New York. Within 4 years, the land was in the possession of the Morris family who assisted with the industrial developments over the next 2 centuries.
The influx of German and Irish immigrant families created multiple opportunities for work and upscaled the residential lifestyles of the neighborhood
Named after Jordan L Mott (inventor of the coal burning stove)
With the development of three historic districts (Bronx Antiques, Bertine Block & Mott Haven East) Mott Haven is a prime example of how a neighborhood with a rural beginning can eventually flourish into an industrial and urban landscape.
