Location Information:
Brooklyn is New York City's most
populous borough with 2.5 million
residents, and second largest in
area. It is also the western most
County (Borough) on Long Island.
Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the
same boundaries as Kings County,
which is now the most populous
county in New York State and the
second most densely populated county
in the United States, after New York
County (Manhattan).
Brooklyn was an independent city
until its consolidation with New
York City in 1898, and continues to
maintain a distinct culture,
independent art scene, and unique
architectural heritage. Many
Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic
enclaves where particular ethnic
groups and cultures predominate.
