Throgs Neck NY homes in southeast Bronx make a wonderful choice for residents who love the water. Situated between the East River and Long Island Sound, many middle and upper/middle-class people call the peninsula of Throgs Neck NY home. In fact, it’s been described as a ‘well-kept suburb’ or a ‘city within a city’. This is one of the reasons Throgs Neck NY homes are a popular favorite, along with Bronx Country Club houses.

Which spelling is correct? The answer is both.

When the Dutch first settled the area it was called Vriedelandt. Later, it was renamed for an English settler named John Throckmorton. However, a Native American uprising forced settlers to leave and it was renamed Frockes Neck. By 1776 forefather George Washington called the location Frogs Neck. Eventually the name became Throggs Neck. NYC Parks Commissioner Robert Moses however dropped one of the ‘g’s’ because it was too long for street signs.

So if you write to tell someone you’re shopping for Throggs Neck homes or Throgs Neck homes…in either case you would be correct.

Although Bronx Country Club houses are actually part of Pelham Bay, the area shares the Throgs Neck zip code.
