Brooklyn directories

On January 1, 1898, New York City absorbed East Bronx, Brooklyn, western Queens County, and Staten Island (see Timeline of Brooklyn). For Brooklyn directories that are combined with Manhattan – before and after being incorporated with New York City – see New York City directories.

Brooklyn in the middle 19th century was a commercial rival of New York City.
