The borough's history

Brooklyn’s growth was always intertwined with New York City’s growth, logically. What was once a small town, Brooklyn’s population suddenly doubled to nearly 80,000 between 1840 and 1845 due to the the first major wave of European immigrants. As a matter of fact, in 1855, nearly half of Brooklyn’s 205,000 residents were foreign-born. Half were Irish and the rest were divided evenly between families from Britain and Germany. Merely 5 years later, Brooklyn had become the third largest city in the United States! You can still see the influence of these settlers in some Brooklyn posters, in terms of architecture and aesthetic. Ferries used to transport more than 32 million passengers per year from Brooklyn Heights to lower Manhattan, but eventually the demands for transportation could not be sustained and in 1865 The New York Bridge Company was founded to construct the Brooklyn Bridge. This project was completed in 1883 and obviously still stands today, as seen in many of our Brooklyn posters.

Celebrated in many songs and movies, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York City’s most iconic man-made wonders. Proudly looming over the East River, this historic bridge offers a scenic journey between the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. There are some absolutely amazing Brooklyn posters featuring this structure. Brooklyn Bridge at Night is one of such, a fine and vibrant motif that can enliven any place you put it in. The Brooklyn neighborhood known by the acronym which stands for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass” is also one of New York City’s most famous landmarks. Located on the the cusp of Brooklyn and Manhattan, Dumbo is a recognizably energetic area that can be seen in Brooklyn posters such as Brooklyn Bridge View. This beautiful image can be described as being quintessentially New York, just like practically all of these Brooklyn posters.
