Home to more than 2.5 million people, this book is a testament to the New York City boroughs many faces over the course of its fascinating history.

In 1834, Brooklyn became a city in its own right and in the second half of the 19th century, a major center of industry. Thousands of immigrants― including those from Ireland, Germany, Norway, Italy, Poland, and Russia―poured into the city to work in its factories and refineries. Following Brooklyn’s consolidation with the other boroughs of New York City in 1898, its fiercely proud residents have helped to maintain and document Brooklyn's own identity.

Discover the streets and buildings that have witnessed generations of immigrants, industry workers and artists: those who keep up the traditions which have characterized Brooklyn neighborhoods for decades and contribute to this vibrant cultural nexus.
