Description

There's more than one Brooklyn in the United States, but with the exception of the one in New York, Old Brooklyn in Ohio has the most interesting history.

Based on the confluence of older Native American trails, Old Brooklyn was originally settled in 1814 as the hamlet of Brighton, originally laid out on land belonging to a farmer named Warren Young. Another incorporation in 1889 renamed the village South Brooklyn, eventually being annexed by the city of Cleveland in 1905 because of its successful light plant. Perhaps Old Brooklyn's biggest claim to fame was the introduction of greenhouse gardening by Gustave Ruetenik & Sons, giving the area the title "Greenhouse Capital of the United States.'? After its appropriation into Cleveland, Old Brooklyn's commercial development reached its apex, and also became home to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in 1907.
