The heart of '''[[History|Brooklyn Centre]]''' is at the intersection of [[Pearl St.|West 25th Street]] and [[Newburgh St.|Denison Avenue]] in Cleveland, Ohio.[[Image:Brooklyn_Centre.jpg|350px|right|float|Street map from Yahoo Maps]]
 +
Brooklyn Centre was first settled in the early 1800's, by the Fish, Brainard, and Foote families, as a farming community.
 +
The area achieved the status of "Historic District" on May 7, 1984, with a formal dedication ceremony held on May 20, 1984 at the [[Archwood Congregational Church|Archwood United Church of Christ]]. The area contains many [[Brooklyn Centre Landmarks|landmarks of historic note]].

'''BROOKLYN TOWNSHIP''' (TIME SPAN - 1816-18??)
+
__TOC__<br>
-
:'''Organized 1 June 1818''', Brooklyn Township was the area of [[Cuyahoga County]] west of the '''[[Cuyahoga River]]''' prior to being annexed by Cleveland. Brooklyn's northern boundary was Lake Erie, it's eastern boundary was the [[Cuyahoga River]], it's southern boundary was Parma and Independence, and it's western boundary was Rockport. Brooklyn was township number 7 of range 13. [see the article on the [[Western Reserve]] for more information on how townships were numbered.] The early settlers had actually considered calling it Egypt because of the fertile land so suitable for growing corn.

Trying to write about the history of a neighborhood is like attempting to read a book where big clumps of pages are stuck together. You can open some of the pages and gets glimpses but the big majority of the text is hidden. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a couple of pages can be pried apart and some new parts can be read. More often than not, though, those pages are destined to remain glued together and you'll never really know what was inside although occasionally you can make inferences.
-
::Area south of Big Creek (sometimes referred to as Mill Creek).

===Street Names===

Ever wonder how some streets came to be named what they were? In many cases, streets were named for the property owner or for a member of their family.

Many street names were lost forever in 1906 when the city of Cleveland decided to rename all north-south running streets with numbers.

This branch started as an offshoot of the genealogy section. The Wiki format allows for a convenient place to store and organize tidbits of information found while researching various families residing in the area.

UPDATE:
2012: Appeals to the Vatican by the parishioners were successful and the church RE-OPENED!

2010: Bishop Richard Lennon made his decision and St. Barbara's was closed.
See the Old Brooklyn News June 2010 issue for an article about the closing.
