	History of Brooklyn - From Village to City
		The village of Brooklyn, directly across the East River from Manhattan, was the funnel through which the food grown on Long Island's rich farmlands passed to New York City.
		The northern edge of Fort Greene, a center for the growing Irish community, was dubbed Vinegar Hill, after a tragic last stand in the failed Irish Rebellion of 1798.
		The city of Brooklyn expanded to accommodate the new population, eventually swallowing up all of Kings County, and itself being annexed by New York City in 1898.

	If You're Thinking of Living In/Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn; On Cobblestone Streets, History Lingers - New York Times
		AS far as anyone knows, no vinegar has ever been mass-produced in Vinegar Hill, a minuscule neighborhood covering only eight blocks close to the Manhattan Bridge anchorage and abutting the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the borough's northwestern shore.
		Most people moving in are 25 to 35 years old, she said.
		Before the Revolutionary War, the land on which Vinegar Hill sits was owned primarily by two Dutch families: the Remsens and the Rapelyes.

		Charging that Brooklyn Bridge Park planners have misled the community with their designs, and that they are only concerned with developing high-rise luxury housing, a group of activists this week vowed to sue.
		The Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation, which is charged by the state with the implementation, design and self-sustaining financing of the park’s maintenance budget, announced in December the waterfront development would need more than 1,200 units of luxury condominiums to help finance it’s costs, resulting in six residential towers to be built on the site.
		Friends of Brooklyn Bridge Park evolved after members of several civic groups sought unity to voice concerns to the BBPDC about the size, scope and process in which the newly added housing was designated.

		In 1801, speculator John Jackson named his newly acquired chunk of Brooklyn waterfront Vinegar Hill after a 1798 battle of the Irish rebellion—and even that hill probably wasn't named after vinegar as we know it, but a type of berry.
		Today, the eight-square-block oxbow of row houses and lush dooryards is a throwback to mid-1800s Brooklyn charm—blocked by the towering, monolithic Farragut Houses; hemmed by the Navy Yard; and sheltered by the power plant, with its smokestacks and acres of transformers.
		The neighborhood association, as active as any in the city, is fighting to keep this nook precious, but Vinegar Hill, like its cousin Red Hook, has only retained its quiet urban-village atmosphere thanks to its obscurity.

	Place in History \| Brooklyn NY
		In 1999, Place in History launched an initiative to explore the history and landscape of the Fulton Ferry / DUMBO / Vinegar Hill area, Brooklyn's first port neighborhood.
		In the summer of 1999, Place in History installed ten viewing boxes at Brooklyn’s Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, as part of the Intervistas/Between the Bridges exhibit, sponsored by the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition.
		Place in History kicked off the project by drawing up a timeline history of DUMBO, and by organizing a community workshop, at which local residents, activists, urbanists, artists, historians and developers met to discuss neighborhood history and current development plans.

		To discourage wrong-way riding, the DOT should install directional arrows in the Myrtle, Third Avenue and Sands and Jay Street bike lanes because they are one-way bike lanes on two-way streets.
		In June, the Department of Transportation striped seven bike lanes in Downtown Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, Gowanus and Vinegar Hill.
		Five are recommendations from the Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming Project and two coincide with the opening of the new Manhattan Bridge bicycle path (see page four).

	Gothamist: BoCoCa - Not a New Cocoa
		Odd, as the neighborhood already had two names -- Vinegar Hill (though its historical boundaries are really more to the east) and Fulton Ferry (which may lack some pizzazz, but at least it doesn't sound silly).
		Talk to anyone over the age of sixty and all of Brooklyn south of the Heights is Red Hook.
		actually even boerum hill, where i live and which is ostensibly named after a dutch farm family, was invented out of thin air to sell real estate.
