Brooklyn
Bridge- Brooklyn
Brooklyn was originally farmland used by a Native American tribe known
as the Canarsie. In the mid-1630s, the British and the Dutch settled
in the area. Within ten years the Dutch farmers established the Town
of Brueckelen. Conflict arose between the two groups and the English,
eventually, took over in 1664. Twenty years later, the English government
organized the area of New York into counties. Brooklyn became one of
the six towns in Kings County.
