About Brooklyn

Brooklyn is one of the southernmost neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland. It is located near Anne Arundel County along Governor Ritchie Highway which is also Maryland Route 2. Its main roads are South Hanover Street, Potee Street, East Patapsco Avenue, Sixth Street, Tenth Street, and West Bay Avenue which borders the

Read more neighboring Curtis Bay community to the east, running through Bay Brook Park, which separates the two. South Hanover Street also serves as the dividing line between east–west streets in Brooklyn, as Charles Street (which acts as the east–west divider from downtown north to the city line) does not exist here. Often mistaken for the similarly-named Brooklyn Park area, Brooklyn shares the 21225 ZIP Code with the greater Brooklyn Park area, which is across the Baltimore City Line in northern Anne Arundel County, and the community of Cherry Hill to the west and northwest across the western branch of the Patapsco River across the Hanover Street Bridge. To the northeast, along the shoreline of the Patapsco River are the former residential communities of Fairfield and Wagner's Point (also known as East Brooklyn), which were "islands of houses" surrounded by the belt of river-front heavy industry. During the construction of the 1955–1957 Baltimore Harbor Tunnel of Interstate 895 (Maryland), another smaller residential island neighborhood of Masonville was purchased and razed for the highway construction. In the past decade these two communities of Fairfield and Wagner's Point have been also bought out and razed. Brooklyn is within the Baltimore City limits, and Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Heights, along with the smaller neighboring communities of Arundel Village, Arundel Gardens, Pumphrey, and Roland Terrace, are in northern Anne Arundel County. Brooklyn is the location of the John R. Hargrove, Sr. District Court Building, located right off of Patapsco Avenue. There are many industrial facilities in the region, mainly shipping ports, rail yards, and oil tanks. Many car imports come through this area, which is at the south end of the Harbor Tunnel that runs off I-895.
