Brooklyn, NEW YORK CITY - Flatbush Trust & Library - 1908

Description: Brooklyn, NEW YORK CITY - Flatbush Trust & Library - 1908: Flatbush is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Founded in 1651 by Dutch colonists, the neighborhood, which consists of several subsections, had a population of 110,875 as of the 2010 United States Census. By the 2010s, the area was quickly gentrifying. Flatbush was a town prior to being incorporated into the City of Brooklyn, and its former border runs through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Generally, the township was larger than what is considered Flatbush today by the residents of Brooklyn. The modern neighborhood includes or borders several institutions of note, including Prospect Park and Brooklyn College. The name Flatbush is a calque of the Dutch language Vlacke bos (vlacke or vlak, meaning "flat"; "Flatbush" meaning "flat woodland" or "wooded plain"), so named from woods that grew on the flat country. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1908, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. Illustrated Post Card Co. No. 155-5.
