There is also Midwood (from Dutch Midwout/Midwoud), which was between Boswyck (Bushwick) and Breukelen (Brooklyn). It was started by Jan Snedeker, Jan Stryker, and Tomys Swartwout in 1652. It later became a part of Flatbush. I grew up in Midwood.

I'm a tour guide here. It is so refreshing to see a KZbin video about our city that is historically accurate (Lawrence Powell! HNOC!!!). 95% or more online about our city is utterly inaccurate - sadly, even from many tour guides. Well done, sir. Wish Faubourg Marigny got more time and attention, but I'm quite partial to it. Maybe next time!

@DanielsimsSteiner - A question, perhaps error; but praise first: I found your video when looking for information about New Orleans and I was not only informed but also entertained. Kudos! Well done. A funny thing, I was looking for info because I am interested in purchasing a property in the French Quarter and your video opens by focusing on the very block where the property is located. You talked about graves that were unearthed during construction of a swimming pool and that that block was the location of the old St. Peter's Cemetery. But when I looked for more info about that cemetery, several references showed it was located in the next block over which runs between Rampart and Burgundy. So, now I'm wondering what is correct. How certain are you about the area you drew on the map in the opening sequence of your video? I don't see any swimming pools in close up satellite images of the block that the other sources show for the cemetery (except for one at the Maison Dupuy Hotel), but I see several residential pools on the block you outlined on the other side of Burgundy St. Anyway, can you offer some clarification? Thanks

This video's claim that Brooklyn lacks a grid system is pure rubbish. I have resided in Brooklyn my entire life and I can attest to the fact that most of the southern half of Brooklyn has a grid system based on numbered streets and numbered or lettered avenues at right angles to each other. It is easy for instance to travel from 3rd Avenue and 86th Street to 21st Avenue and 60th Street, or 4th Avenue and 8th Street to 15th Avenue and 79th Street, or West 5th Street and Avenue O to West 11th Street and Avenue T, or East 15th Street and Avenue P to East 70th Street and Avenue U. The rest of Brooklyn also has a grid system, but one based on names.

exactly. Where I lived, east of brooklyn college, there were streets and avenues. Streets ran north and south. Avenues were east and west. Avenues were letters. Streets were numbers. Some avenues had names, like Glenwood road, Church ave and Farragut road. But the first letter was the alphabetical avenue letter. Streets had traffic in one direction. Avenues were wider and had 2 way traffic. Even numbered streets were wider and two way avenues. Nostrand Ave was e 30th street. Utica avenue, 20 blocks east of Nostrand was east 50th street. Wider roads, Flatbush ave and Kings Highway, do not follow the grid pattern. That said, it would be nuts to live there now. Takes far too much time to drive in and out. Brooklyn needs another Robert Moses to tear things up and put in an east/west and north/south highway!

My friend owns two houses on Marion street in Bed Stuy Brooklyn. He also owns an empty lot in between the houses with an old wooden garage in the rear. he tells me that the middle property is still technically speaking a "Stable" (Legally Speaking he has documents to prove it) I tell him he is sitting on a lot of money I say. The old man should sell sell sell

Brooklyn, all of Long Island has never had a freight line which connected its factories to the rest of the nation. I think that is the case. Maybe the incorporation of Brooklyn and Queens into NYC prevented those boroughs from building the infrastructure needed to be economically independent? As is it, not much manufacturing takes place on all of Long Island.

Trace the home building activity in Brooklyn from 1920 to WWII. How is it there was the great depression all during the 1930s while so many residential homes were being built in Brooklyn at that time?

Make sure you show some love to QUEENS next. There’s a lot of interesting history as to its semi late development and influence on the rest of the city as it bloomed into the modern age, especially with Robert Moses and the MTA getting its grip on everything. It’s also interesting how the city got it incorporated and separated from Long Island.

@ The Rockaway’s have always been part of the Queens County geographical boundaries. In its infancy after the Mohegan Tribe sold the land to the Dutch West India Company it was incorporated into the Town of Hempstead. In actuality Queens County in name and authority dominated the entire northern western geographic quadrant of Long Island and all the way inland to Oyster Bay. Believe it or not Nassau County (Not Suffolk County) as a whole belonged to Queens and not the other way around, after the consolidation Eastern Queens was excluded and hence Nassau county was born, had it been included Queens would have become the largest and hardest to maintain borough in the city. Many people who were born and raised in Queens consider Nassau County a part of their home as well , Hempstead and Little Neck feel no different from say Douglaston and Glen Oaks it’s just one side is Nassau and the other is Queens.
