Greenpoint: Polish Brooklyn at the Northern Tip
Greenpoint occupies the northern tip of Brooklyn along the East River across from midtown Manhattan. Population is around 35,000. The neighborhood has long been the center of Polish American life in New York City, with Manhattan Avenue and Nassau Avenue lined by Polish bakeries, delicatessens, and butcher shops. Polish was for decades the second most common language spoken in the neighborhood, though recent gentrification has shifted the demographics.
Greenpoint's industrial history is tied to Newtown Creek, which forms the border with Queens. The creek was a center of oil refining, shipbuilding, and chemical manufacturing in the 19th and 20th centuries. A massive underground oil spill was discovered beneath Greenpoint in 1978, estimated at 17 to 30 million gallons, larger than the Exxon Valdez spill. Cleanup under state and federal supervision is ongoing.
The waterfront has seen substantial residential redevelopment since rezoning in 2005, with high-rise apartment buildings replacing former industrial sites. The G train serves the neighborhood at Greenpoint Avenue and Nassau Avenue stations, the only line to run between Brooklyn and Queens without passing through Manhattan.
