Fun Facts and History of Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights started out as a port for ferries, supplying materials and resources to the farms in the area. The neighborhood was quickly fortified due to its strategic location, which is why George Washington retreated here after his defeat during the Battle of Long Island.

In 1814, the New York and Brooklyn Steamboat Company began to run scheduled ferries between Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan, encouraging further development. By the 1860’s the area had a grid system, as well as all the other amenities of other high profile neighborhoods. Unlike other high profile neighborhoods, Brooklyn Heights became an important part of the abolitionist movement, helping escaped enslaved people get to Canada.

The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883, which made the area more accessible and popular. More affordable homes were built and artists and writers began moving to the area. Once the Great Depression hit, the affluent members of the community fled, making the neighborhood more accessible to the working class. However, construction of train lines and unpopular city planning promised to destroy the brownstones that covered the area.

Luckily, several organizations formed to oppose the plans, and saved many of the brownstones that slated for demolition. These groups also helped renovate the homes, making the area extremely popular again by the 1980’s. Now the neighborhood is back to its affluent roots.
