Flatbush: Central Brooklyn's Deep Roots
Flatbush lies in central Brooklyn and takes its name from the Dutch Vlacke Bos, meaning "flat woodland." The area was one of the original six Dutch towns of Brooklyn, chartered in 1651. Population today is around 93,000 in the neighborhood's traditional boundaries, with Caribbean, Orthodox Jewish, and newer residents making up a significant share.
The Flatbush Reformed Dutch Church at Flatbush and Church Avenues was founded in 1654, and the current 1798 church building stands on the same site. Erasmus Hall Academy, founded in 1786 on donated church land, became Erasmus Hall High School in 1896; Barbra Streisand, Bobby Fischer, and Neil Diamond all attended the school.
Brooklyn College, founded in 1930 as a merger of the Brooklyn branches of City College and Hunter, operates on a 26-acre campus in Midwood at the southern edge of Flatbush. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum border the neighborhood to the north along Eastern Parkway. The B, Q, 2, and 5 trains serve the area through multiple subway lines.
