Brooklyn (named after the
Dutch town
Breukelen) is one of the five
boroughs of
New York City. An independent city until its consolidation into New York in 1898, Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, with nearly 2.5 million residents. Brooklyn is coterminous with Kings County, which is the most populous county in
New York State, and the second most densely populated county in the United States (after
New York County, which is the borough of Manhattan).
