Fun Facts and History of Sunset Park

First settled in 1636 and fully settled in 1640, Sunset Park was one of the first Dutch settlements of New Amsterdam. Once the British took over in 1664, the area was split so half was part of Brooklyn and the other half was part of New Utrecht. The shore was used as a major port, especially during the American Revolution.

Due to Sunset Park’s location, the area remained mostly farmland while other parts of Brooklyn were modernizing in the early to mid 1800’s. Once the Green-Wood Cemetery opened in the 1840’s, it drew large crowds, prompting ferry service from Manhattan and encouraging growth in the area.

A building boom, starting in the late 1800’s, drew scores of people to the area. Subway lines were added, resulting in the construction of many new row houses. These houses became boarding homes once the Great Depression hit. Afterward, Sunset Park became a working class neighborhood. Bad construction projects displaced many people and the neighborhood fell into ruin.

The area was revitalized thanks to the Immingration and Nationality Act of 1965. This law removed racial based rules for immigration and allowed people from Asian and Latin countries to move to the US. With Sunset Park being an inexpensive option, many immigrants settled there and revitalized the area themselves, making it a very popular destination.

Sunset Park Buildings

While there are some luxury high rise buildings here, the vast majority of Sunset Park is flat. Row houses dominate this neighborhood, as do the older factories and store fronts near the major roads. Even by the water, where taller complexes can be found in other parts of Brooklyn, are remarkably flat.
