Consequently, these latter-day pioneers coveted the river more for its flatlands and rich soil. When freedman William Trail arrived in Brookville Township in 1814, the black river dwellers had been driven onto the hillside—where those of lesser means, black or white, worked low yielding land that most could not afford to buy. To the west of Ethiopia near the Sudanese border lies a place called the Asosa zone. This may be the location of the oldest gold mine in the world. Dating back some 6,000 years, it provided a key. Dating from the 14th century, at which time it was a manor house, it gained importance as an occasional royal residence, and it was here that King Francois I died in 1547. The castle retains a medieval defensive form, with turrets in each corner of the building, although the castle has been very extensively altered during the follwoing centuries.

My first week, I researched Fulton Ferry, the area where Brooklyn was born. I didn’t realize at the time that another town had the honor of being the first established in the present-day borough.

Nieuw Amersfoort was founded on June 16, 1636 – ten years before Breuckelen - as a result of the first European land-purchase on Long Island. It was named in honor of Amersfoort, Netherlands, home of Wolfert Gerritsen, one of the settlers. Once you got inland from the marshy area and “hay of inferior quality” around Jamaica Bay, you reached rich, productive soil on level ground.

The first plantation was known as Achtervelt – “beyond the great flats”, on a site known to the native Lenape as Keschaechquereren. Even into the 20th century the area was mainly agricultural. In fact, here’s a 1952 article about a guy who promised eggs “Laid While U Wait” on Flatlands Avenue.

The town had a history of independence. When the British captured New Netherland in 1664, the only thing that really changed here was the name: while the usurpers, apparently eager to get to the point, rechristened it Flatlands, local residents continued to speak Dutch – for another two hundred years. It was also the last town to be annexed by Brooklyn, in 1896, meaning it held out 41 years longer than Williamsburg and Bushwick.

Flatlands was originally much larger than it is today. It began to break into pieces as soon as it was folded in to Brooklyn. Floyd Bennett Field was once part of Flatlands as well; it used to be called Barren Island. The pirate Charles Gibbs used it as a hiding-place for his treasure.

These neighborhoods, along with Floyd Bennett Field (the gray area), approximate the former Town of Flatlands.

Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis camped with his troops at Kings Highway and Flatbush Avenue on August 26, 1776, before marching north to fight the Battle of Brooklyn. (As one resident later recalled, “The Red Coats were so thick in Flatlands you could walk on their heads.” I couldn’t find any information as to whether anyone tried.) The Americans, in a preventative measure, had burned much of the farmland to deny the invaders easy rations.

The British used the level ground for their war-time entertainment, creating a horse-racing track in 1780 called Ascot Heath, likely named after the famous Ascot Racecourse in England. Here’s an amusing announcement from May 30, 1781, as cited in Stiles’s A History of Brooklyn:

Flatlands was a bastion of slavery, which makes sense, given its agricultural bent. When the state outlawed the practice in 1827, blacks made up 20% of the population. Granted, that population was not big – in 1835, Flatlands was the smallest town in Kings County, with only 684 residents. Dating english gresham. Compare that with 24,500 in the City of Brooklyn, a number that was rapidly growing.

Flatlands became connected to the rest of the borough in the 1870s, with the extension of Flatbush Avenue and the inauguration of horsecar service along it from Kings Highway north. The IRT (today’s 2/5 lines) reached Brooklyn College in 1920, and many buses criss-cross the neighborhood. In spite of this (or, perhaps, because of this), the area is very dependent on cars. The neighborhood is mostly Jewish, Italian, and Irish, with some people from the Caribbean. Orthodox Jews have also begun coming over from Midwood.

I plan to check out several older buildings on my visit. The property of Joost Van Nuyse, once 85 acres in size, still has a house dating from 1744. (Its eponym drowned in his well in 1792.) The small wing of the Baxter House on East 48th Street dates from 1747. And the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church, at Kings Highway and East 40th Street, dates from 1848. This church is the third on the property; the first stood from 1663 to 1794.
