Fun Facts and History of DUMBO

DUMBO started out as a neighborhood in Brooklyn known as Olympia. In the late 1700’s, private landowners purchased much of modern day DUMBO and turned it into Summer homes for wealthy Manhattanites. While this dream never really took off, DUMBO was a popular port neighborhood for those traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn.

Factories began popping up around the mid 1800’s and DUMBO became a place of industry for the next few decades. DUMBO was known for innovation as well, especially in 1890 when the cardboard box was invented there. DUMBO would remain largely industrial, even after World War II.

After many of the factories and office buildings were abandoned in the years after the war, artists began to move to the neighborhood in the 1970’s. It was then that the acronym “DUMBO” was invented as a way to deter developers from seeing the area as a potential money maker. This, however, didn’t work and soon the art galleries attracted tech companies. These new industries made DUMBO rich and today it’s still a wildly popular neighborhood.
