| New Utrecht, Brooklyn
New Utrecht was first settled in 1652, organized as a town by Governor Stuyvesant in 1662, and recognized as a town by the State of New York in 1788. It was located along the shore from Bay Ridge to Gravesend, in southwestern Brooklyn today. Named after a town in the Netherlands, it was built originally to counter moves by the English against Dutch settlements on Long Island.
