It is New York City’s most populous b orough, with an estimated 2,504,700 residents in 2010. Named after the Dutch village of breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens at the western end of Long Island. B rooklyn has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan acros s the East River, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects it with Staten Island. W ith a land area of 183.4 km2 and water area of 26 square miles 67 km2, Kings County i s New York state's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total are a, though it is the second-largest among the city’s five boroughs. MEDIUM & MEDIUM OBLIQUE 12pt brooklyn was an independent incorporated city until January 1, 1898, when, after a l ong political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the ne w Municipal Charter of “Greater New York” Brooklyn was consolidated with the other c ities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York, surrounding the Up per New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brookly n’s official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is eendraght Maeckt Mag ht, which translates from early modern Dutch as unity Makes strength. In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant gard e destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increa ses and a decrease in housing affordability. VILLAGE BOOK & BOOK OBLIQUE 12pt The name Brooklyn is derived from the original Dutch colonial name Breuckelen, meanin g marshland. Established in 1646, the name first appeared in print in 1663. The Dutch c olonists named it after the scenic town of Breukelen, Netherlands. Over the past two mi llennia, the ancient town in Holland's name has been Bracola, Broccke, Brocckede, Broicl ede, Brocklandia, Broekclen, Broikelen, Breuckelen and finally Breukelen. The New Amst erdam settlement of Breuckelen also went through many spelling variations, including B reucklyn, Breuckland, Brucklyn, Broucklyn, Brookland, Brockland, Brocklin, and Brooklin e/Brook-line. There have been so many variations of the name that its origin has been d ebated; some have claimed breuckelen means “broken land.” The final name of Brooklyn however, is the most accurate to its meaning. The history of European settlement in Bro ooklyn spans more than 350 years. LIGHT & LIGHT OBLIQUE 12pt The settlement began in the 17th century as the small Dutch-founded town of Breuckele n on the East River shore of Long Island, grew to be a sizeable city in the 19th century, a nd was consolidated in 1898 with New York City, the remaining rural areas of Kings Cou nty, and the largely rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern City of New York. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle Long Island's western edge, whi ch was then largely inhabited by the Lenape, an Algonquian-speaking American Indian tri be who are often referred to in colonial documents by a variation of the place name can arsie. Bands were associated with place names, but the colonists thought their names r epresented different tribes. The Breuckelen settlement was named after Breukelen in th e Netherlands; it was part of New Netherland. WWW.VLLG.COM 6 CONSTELLATION / Brooklyn Sample text settings MEDIUM & MEDIUM OBLIQUE 10pt The colony’s capital of new aMsterdaM, across the East River, obtained its chart er in 1653, later than the village of Brooklyn. The neighborhood of Marine Park wa s home to North America’s first tide mill. It was built by the Dutch, and the foundat ion can be seen today. But the area was not formally settled as a town. Many incid ents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman’s 1824 compilati on. What is Brooklyn today left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of Ne w Netherland in 1664, a prelude to the Second Anglo–Dutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York, brother of the then monarc h King Charles II of England and future king himself as King James II of England an d and James VII of Scotland; Brooklyn became a part of the new English and later British colony, the Province of New York. The English reorganized the six old Dutch towns on southwestern Long Island as Kings County on 1 November 1683, one of the “original twelve counties” then established in New York Province. BOOK & BOOK OBLIQUE 10pt On 27 August 1776, was fought the Battle of Long Island—also known as the Bat tle of Brooklyn—the first major engagement fought in the American Revolution ary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. Brit ish troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the height s near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously report ed to have emotionally exclaimed: “What brave men I must this day lose!” The forti VILLAGE fied American positions at Brooklyn HeigHts consequently became untenable an d were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harb or. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as the commander, the tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the Ea st River in a single night is now seen by historians as one of his most brilliant trium phs. The British controlled the surrounding region for the duration of the war.

Ferry Road to Jama ica Pass became Fulton Street to East New York. Town and Village were combined t o form the first, kernel incarnation of the City of Brooklyn in 1834. In parallel devel opment, the Town of Bushwick, farther up the river, saw the incorporation of the Vi llage of Williamsburgh in 1827, which separated as the Town of Williamsburg in 18 40 and formed the short-lived City of Williamsburgh in 1851.

Doctoral Dissertations. 466. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/466 Rough and Ready Relief: American Identity, Humanitarian Experience, and the Commission for Relief in Belgium, 1914-1917 Thomas David Westerman, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This dissertation examines a group of American men who adopted and adapted notions of American power for humanitarian ends in German-occupied Belgium with the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) during World War I. The CRB, led by Herbert Hoover, controlled the importation of relief goods and provided supervision of the Belgian-led relief distribution. The young, college-educated American men who volunteered for this relief work between 1914 and 1917 constructed an effective and efficient humanitarian space for themselves by drawing not only on the power of their neutral American citizenship, but on their collectively understood American-ness as able, active, yet responsible young men serving abroad, thereby developing an alternative tool—the use of humanitarian aid—for the use and projection of American power in the early twentieth century. Drawing on their letters, diaries, recollections as well as their official reports on their work and the situation in Belgium, this dissertation argues that the early twentieth century formation of what we today understand to be non-state, international humanitarianism was partially established by Americans exercising explicit and implicit national power during the years of American neutrality in World War I.

  • The Lion, the Rooster, and the Union: National Identity in the Belgian Clandestine Press, 1914-1918
    THE LION, THE ROOSTER, AND THE UNION: NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE BELGIAN CLANDESTINE PRESS, 1914-1918 by MATTHEW R. DUNN Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Dr. Andrew Denning _________________________ Dr. Nathan Wood _________________________ Dr. Erik Scott _________________________ Date Abstract Significant research has been conducted on the trials and tribulations of Belgium during the First World War. While amateur historians can often summarize the “Rape of Belgium” and cite nationalism as a cause of the war, few people are aware of the substantial contributions of the Belgian people to the war effort and their significance, especially in the historical context of Belgian nationalism. Relatively few works have been written about the underground press in Belgium during the war, and even fewer of those works are scholarly. The Belgian underground press attempted to unite the country's two major national identities, Flemings and Walloons, using the German occupation as the catalyst to do so. Belgian nationalists were able to momentarily unite the Belgian people to resist their German occupiers by publishing pro-Belgian newspapers and articles. They relied on three pillars of identity—Catholic heritage, loyalty to the Belgian Crown, and anti-German sentiment. While this expansion of Belgian identity dissipated to an extent after WWI, the efforts of the clandestine press still serve as an important framework for the development of national identity today. By examining how the clandestine press convinced members of two separate nations, Flanders and Wallonia, to re-imagine their community to the nation of Belgium, historians can analyze the successful expansion of a nation in a war-time context.

  • Native Americans in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet
    NATIVE AMERICANS IN BROOKLYN PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING The people encountered by the Europeans in the 1600s called themselves the Lenape, which loosely translates as either “the common people” or “the ancient people.” They called their homeland Lenapehoking and their communities reached from the Lower Hudson region to the Delaware Bay, including portions of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. To other tribes in the region, they were known as “grandfather” because of their ancient roots in the region. In the early 1600s, at the time of European contact, their population was around 20,000, divided into roughly twenty autonomous groups, closely interconnected through clan membership, Turkey, Wolf, or Turtle, which was traced through the mother. The Canarsee and Marechkawieck of the Lenape tribe lived in what is now Brooklyn. Clan lands and dwellings were “owned,” or held in trust for the clan, by the women as heads of households. The concept of shared land use was fundamental to their society – and utterly foreign to the European system of land ownership and leasing. The rise of the European system in North America would prove devastating to the Lenape, whose communal identity was rooted in a land of fluid natural boundaries. When the Dutch arrived in the 17th century in what is now New York City, their encounters with the Lenape were, at first, mostly amicable, according to historical records. They shared the land and traded guns, beads and wool for beaver furs. As the myth goes, the Dutch even “purchased” Manahatta island from the Lenape in 1626.

Garrett, Ph.D, R.P.A., editor With contributions by Diana Choi, Randa Harris, Julie Richko Labate, Molly Miranker, Jessica Vayo, and Rona Winter-Livneh February 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Numerous city, state, and federal organizations contributed to the successful performance of the Riverside 2 project. The authors wish to thank, in particular, Mr. Drew Spitler of Dermott, Inc. for supporting and overseeing the cultural resources effort at Riverside 2 project over the course of GRA’s efforts (2012-2015). Without his singular support the project would not have proceeded as smoothly as it did. Mr. Parker Terrill and Mr. Mark Sangiorgi, both formerly of Dermot, served as liaisons between GRA and the client during the critical field phases of the work. Mr. Sangiorgi's interest in and appreciation of the work as well as his understanding of the compliance process allowed us to proceed with the transition from excavation to analysis and report writing phases with minimum difficulty. Ms. Amanda Sutphin, chief archaeologist for the New York City Landmarks Commission, was pivotal in the early negotiation phases of the Scope of Work, in facilitating contacts between the client and contractor, and in explaining the protocols and regulatory aspects of the work.
