Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Aug 31 13:23:24 2015, in response to Re: B6/B82 SBS In The Works, posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Aug 30 21:21:43 2015. In case anyone is wondering why “South Brooklyn” is north of most of Brooklyn, that is because in the olden times the southern border of the Village of Brooklyn was Atlantic Avenue, (which was called District Street for that reason), and South Brooklyn was thus South of Brooklyn in much the same way that West Hempstead is west of Hempstead (and a part of the Town of Hempstead just as South Brooklyn was part of the Town of Brooklyn). Brooklyn eventually expanded to the rest of Kings County, rendering the name an artifact title, although it lasted as such well into the 20th Century. |
