Description

Bird's-eye-view of Brooklyn; Compliments of Woldmere Realty Co.

Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Brooklyn, New York, compliments of Woldmere Realty Co. drawn and published by August R. Ohman & Co. in 1908. The Dutch West India Company authorized the village of Brooklyn in 1646, naming it after Breuckelen, a province of Utrecht. The Dutch set up a trade network here, but soon lost Brooklyn to the British. The British managed the area until the end of the American Revolution. They used New York as their military base of operations during the war and held American patriot prisoners aboard their rotting prison-ships in Wallabout Bay. More patriot prisoners died on these ships than in all battles of the war. In 1801, the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard was established here and in the late 1800's Brooklyn's East River population grew with the annexation of Williamsburgh, New Lots, Flatbush, Gravesend, New Utrecht and Flatlands. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883, linking Brooklyn with Manhattan. In 1898, Brooklyn was designated as one of New York City's five boroughs.

This beautifully colored map from 1908 shows parks, streets, neighborhoods, waterways, islands and suburbs.
