Named after a Quaker Poet, Journalist, and Editor,

William Cullen Bryant
b- Nov 3, 1794 in a log cabin near Cummington Mass. USA

Buried in Roslyn Cemetery, Roslyn, Nassau Co, NY, USA
He was an American Romantic Poet, Journalist,
and a long-time Editor of the New York Evening Post.
Bryant Park in New York City was named after him.

As far as I know, it is still a mystery who named these towns.
Most in this area, if not all, were named after poets,
and or, writers, but who named them is unknown.
