The Bronx is the northernmost borough of New York City, coextensive with Bronx County. It is the only borough of New York City located primarily on the U.S. mainland, sharing a land border with Westchester County to its north and being bordered by Manhattan and Queens via the Harlem and East Rivers. With a land area of 42 square miles, it is the fourth-largest borough by area and had a population of over 1.4 million people as of the 2020 census.

This borough is notable for its rich cultural history, being the birthplace of hip-hop and home to the New York Yankees baseball team and the expansive Bronx Zoo. It is a densely populated, diverse urban area with distinct neighborhoods and significant landmarks, including the Grand Concourse and the New York Botanical Garden.

Recently, the term has been associated with local news through a website sharing its name. This platform has featured a range of community-focused headlines, including reports on missing teenagers, the launch of a citywide campaign against ageism by NYC Aging, a significant corporate donation to support scholarships for first-generation college students, and sports-related news. These stories highlight the site's role in covering local events, public safety, and community initiatives within the borough.
