The Dutch organized into 6 towns. Here's a map of Brooklyn's original 6 towns. Starting in the 19th century, the village, then city of Brooklyn started to annex all the surrounding towns. Eventually, Brooklyn had annexed all of Kings County. What's interesting about this map, is that Williamsburg had not yet dropped its final "H" but New Lots and dropped its double "T". |
