Flatbush, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York City, New York, USA

Tree: Nederlandse voorouders

Notes:
Flatbush is a community of the Borough of Brooklyn, a part of New York City, consisting of several neighborhoods.



The name Flatbush is an Anglicization of the Dutch language Vladbos (approximately wooded land).



The Flatbush communities have traditionally had diverse populations, including large communities of ethnic Italians, Jews and West Indians.



Flatbush was originally chartered as the Dutch Nieuw Nederland colony town of Midwout in 1651. Both names were used in the Dutch era, and Midwood was an alternative name for Flatbush into the early 20th century. Midwood now describes the area immediately south of Brooklyn College. Midwood is a mix of Orthodox Jews and Irish Americans.



Flatbush and the other towns of what was to become Kings County were surrendered to the English in 1664. The influence of Dutch merchant and farming families remained strong in the area until after consolidation into the City of Greater New York in 1898, after which the development of Flatbush as a suburb, and then an integral part of the larger city, proceeded apace.



Before it was incorporated into Brooklyn City in 1894, Flatbush described both the Town of Flatbush, incorporating a large swath of central Kings County extending east to the Queens County border, and the Village of Flatbush, formerly the heart of the current community. Many of the remaining early Dutch structures are in the Flatlands and Marine Park neighborhoods.
