-‘greenpoint’ is the northernmost neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, in the U.S. state of ‘New York’-
.
(it is bordered on the southwest by ‘Williamsburg’ at the ‘Bushwick’ inlet, on the southeast by the ‘Brooklyn-Queens Expressway’ and ‘East Williamsburg’, on the north by ‘Newtown Creek’ and ‘Long Island City’, ‘Queens’ at the ‘Pulaski Bridge’, and on the west by the ‘East River’)
(originally farmland – many of the farm owners’ family names, such as ‘Meserole’ and ‘Calyer’, are current street names – the residential core of ‘Greenpoint’ was built on parcels divided during the 19th century, with rope factories and lumber yards lining the ‘East River’ to the west, while the northeastern section along the ‘Newtown Creek’ through ‘East Williamsburg’ became an industrial maritime area)
(it is now known for its large Polish immigrant and Polish-American community, and it is often referred to as “Little Poland”)
(there have been recent efforts to reclaim the rezoned ‘Greenpoint’ / ‘Williamsburg East River’ waterfront for recreational use, and also to extend a continuous promenade into the ‘Newtown Creek’ area)
(the neighborhood is part of New York’s ’12th congressional district’, State Senate Districts ’17’ and ’25’, State Assembly District ’50’, City Council District ’33’, and ‘Brooklyn Community Board 1’)
(the neighborhood is served by the NYPD’s “94th Precinct” and the “FDNY Engine 238” and “Hook & Ladder 106”)
