Fun Facts and History of Prospect Heights

Part of the original city of Brooklyn, Prospect Heights was an important part of the agricultural practices and trade routes of the Dutch colonists who controlled the land in the 1600’s. After the American Revolution, Brooklyn’s population began to grow rapidly, and the land of Prospect Heights was sold to the city in order to build housing.

The original grid for Prospect Heights was drawn in 1833 and constructed in 1834, based largely on how the land had been run by the farmers who settled there. However, Brooklyn decided, as streets were still being constructed, to lay a new grid all together in 1839. A deal was struck to keep the streets already constructed which is why some of the streets in Prospect Heights are at a 45 degree angle rather than the traditional 90 degrees.

Once the grid was completed, housing came next. The 1890’s marked the beginning of the gorgeous brownstone row houses Prospect Heights is known for. Once those houses, and several mid-rise apartment complexes, were complete, Prospect Heights enjoyed a steady period of prosperity, barely being affected by the other financial crises that shook NYC to its core. Today, many high rise luxury buildings have been erected, along with the Barclays Center. This caused some contention in the 2010’s, but things have settled down. Now Prospect Heights is a beautiful mixture of old and new.
