Brooklyn, the twin city of New York, has a rich and illustrious history. The swampy land has been inhabited for thousands of years, but at various points in history, the borough and adjacent city were abandoned due to rapidly changing climate conditions. Owing to its access to the East River, Atlantic Ocean, and inland land bridges, Brooklyn was geographically destined for greatness. Today, if the borough was ranked as a city, it would be the third most populous city in the United States, following Los Angeles and Chicago. Coney Island, the symbol of American decadence, had a transformative effect on the borough, and marked the beginnings of large-scale de-industrialization, turning the once glorious port city into a hub for counter-cultural currents.
