Bushwick: Brooklyn's Industrial Edge in Transition
Bushwick lies in north-central Brooklyn between Williamsburg to the northwest and Bedford-Stuyvesant to the southwest. The neighborhood holds about 113,000 residents. Its origins go back to 1661 when Peter Stuyvesant chartered the Dutch town of Boswijck on the site; the name means "town in the woods."
From the 1840s through the early 20th century, Bushwick became the center of German brewing in New York, with more than a dozen breweries operating along what is still called Brewers' Row on Bushwick Place. The industry collapsed in the 1970s, and the last brewery closed by 1976. Warehouse and industrial buildings from that era now house artist studios, galleries, and performance venues, particularly along the corridor near the Morgan Avenue L train stop.
The neighborhood has a majority Latino population, with Puerto Rican and Dominican residents joined by more recent Mexican, Ecuadorian, and Central American arrivals. Rising rents since the mid-2000s have produced significant demographic change in the western part of the neighborhood, which has drawn younger artists and white residents from adjacent Williamsburg.
