New Utrecht

New Utrecht is a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Named after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands, it first settled in 1657 and received its charter in 1661 when the entire region was part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland, later coming under British rule in 1664. In 1683 when Kings County, New York was established within the colony of New York, New Utrecht was one of its six original towns. It was later annexed by the City of Brooklyn on July 1, 1894, which ultimately became part of the City of New York on January 1, 1898.
