*began in the ‘1600s’ as a small dutch-founded town on the ‘east river shore’ of ‘long island’*
.
(named after the dutch town “breukelen” in the ‘BJ’ (‘before jews’) era)
.
(‘brooklyn’ is the most populous of NYC’s 5 boroughs, with a census-estimated ‘2,636,735 residents’ in ‘2015’)
.
(it is geographically adjacent to the borough of ‘queens’ at the southwestern end of “long island”)
(since 1896, “brooklyn” has had the same boundaries as kings county, the ‘most populous county’ in the american state of “new york”, and the 2nd-most densely populated county in the “united states”, after the county of “new york” (which is co-extensive with the borough of ‘manhattan’))
(with a land area of ’71 square miles’ (/ 180 square kilometers) + ‘water area’ of ’26 square miles’ (/ ’67 kilometers’), “kings county” is new york’s 4th-smallest county by ‘land area’ + 3rd-smallest by ‘total area’, though it is the 2nd-largest among the city’s 5 boroughs)
(today, if each of the 5 boroughs were a separate city, “brooklyn” would rank as the 3rd-most populous city in the ‘united states, behind ‘los angeles’ + ‘chicago’)
(“brooklyn” was an ‘independent incorporated city’ (and previously an ‘authorized’ village and town within the provisions of the “new york atate constitution”) until ‘1 january 1898’ when, after a long ‘political campaign’ + ‘public relations battle’ during the ‘1890s’, according to the new “municipal charter of ‘greater new york'”, “brooklyn” was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern “city of ‘new york'” surrounding the “upper new york bay” with 5 constituent ‘boroughs’)
(the ‘borough’ continues, however, to maintain a ‘distinct culture’)
(many brooklyn neighborhoods are “ethnic enclaves”)
(brooklyn’s official motto (displayed on the ‘borough seal’ + ‘borough flag’, is eendraght maeckt maght which translates from ‘early modern dutch’ as “unity makes strength”)
.
(in the first decades of the 2000s, ‘brooklyn’ has experienced a ‘renaissance’ as an ‘avant garde destination’ for ‘hipsters’, with…)
*’concomitant ‘gentrification’*
*dramatic ‘house price increases’*
*decrease in ‘housing affordability’*
.
(since 2010 it has evolved into a thriving hub of ‘entrepreneurship’ + ‘high technology startup firms’)
(and of postmodern ‘art’ + ‘design’)
(“someone alert ‘doctor peterson’!”)
