Brooklyn New York Historical Facts
Officially, the Borough of Brooklyn is one of five boroughs of greater New York City since 1898. Kings County is coterminous with the Borough of Brooklyn (meaning they have identical borders) and information is listed here.

Description
The County was named for the Dutch village of Breukelen. The County is located in the southeast area of the state.

Boundary Changes
For animated maps illustrating New York County boundary changes, "Rotating Formation New York County Boundary Maps" (1683-1915) may be viewed for free at the MapofUS.org website.

1664 Yorkshire became the first large government unit (not actually a county) organized by New York after the English took control from the The Netherlands. It was divided into three ridings including West Riding (now Richmond, Kings, and most of Queens).

1683 November 1 The Province of New York extinguished Yorkshire, creating Kings County from part of it.

1898 January 21 The five boroughs were consolidated into New York City and her county governments were dissolved. The Borough of Brooklyn became a borough of Greater New York City, with the same borders as Kings County. Some record keeping was retained at the county (now borough) level and other record-keeping transferred to the new city.

Record Loss
There is no known history of courthouse disasters in this county.
