With $25,000 in funding from City Councilman David Yassky, the New York Historical Society has recently launched a website called Brooklyn Revealed that explores the history of Brooklyn through the provenance of its street names. Organized around the original six towns of Brooklyn (Brooklyn, Bushwich, Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend and New Utrecht), the site draws on the Eugene L. Armbruster Photograph Collection, the George P. Hall & Son Photograph Collection, the James Reuel Smith Springs and Wells Photograph Collection as well as postcards from the Brooklyn Eagle and the Brooklyn Edison Company photographs. Here’s a sample: Know who Driggs Avenue was named after? Edmund Driggs, the last president of the Village of Williamsburg before it became part of the city of Brooklyn in 1855. Check it out.
