New York City often brings Manhattan to mind—its skyscrapers, financial district, Times Square, and Broadway. However, Brooklyn, just across the East River, is a major borough with 2.5 million residents. Founded by Dutch settlers in 1624, Brooklyn was once an independent city, played a role in the Revolutionary War, and has been home and final resting place to celebrities, artists, and notable figures. A proverbial melting pot of world cultures, it is known for its diverse cultural heritage, reflecting European, African, Caribbean, and Asian influences.
