Until the early twentieth century the area remained undeveloped except for a few squatters’ bungalows at the foot of Gerritsen Avenue. The firm of Realty Associates began building a middle-class summer resort there in 1920, and the southwest corner of Gerritsen’s Meadow was soon covered by one-story bungalows with peaked roofs and no backyards. The popularity of this first venture spurred further growth. Some bungalows were made suitable for year-round habitation, two-story houses with backyards were built, and within a decade there were fifteen hundred houses. With its narrow streets and close-set homes, some sitting on the water, this neighborhood in far south Brooklyn is often likened to a New England fishing village.
such pure-nature landscapes are available at the end of Gerristen Avenue, called The Point

The area south of the canal, the Old Section, retains the character of a small fishing village and is a popular station for party boats. The Vollies
It is headquartered at 52 Seba Avenue and the is only remaining volunteer fire department in Brooklyn. The Gerrittsen Beach Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1922, when Gerrittsen Beach was a small, predominantly summer community. In 1921 a damaging fire on Abbey Court showed the community that the city’s regular fire apparatus could not reach the Beach in time to put out the fire. A mass meeting was called by the residents that resulted in the organization of the only volunteer fire department in Brooklyn. The volunteers (known as the Vollies or, in earlier days, the (Vamps) are ever on the alert for the fire siren. When it blows, they drop everything and rush to the firehouse, where the call may be for a deadly fire, a drowning, or a medical emergency. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Siren (noisemaker). ...
Before the city added water mains to Gerrittsen Beach streets, the Volunteers had to handle fires at least three times a week. Most families had oil stoves or kerosene lamps, and the water had to be pumped from wells. The city did not build Engine Company 321’s firehouse at Gerritsen Avenue and Avenue U until October 4, 1930. is the 277th day of the year (278th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
Year 1930 (MCMXXX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display 1930 calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Through the years the community has insisted on maintaining its firehouse even though Engine Company No. 321 serviced the area. The Vollies were, and still are, prepared for every emergency. For example, - The Vollies responded with medical aid to the 1960 jet airliner crash on 7th Avenue and Sterling Place, on December 16, 1960.
- Just three days following the New York air disaster, the Vollies responded to the city’s call for the aircraft carrier USS Constitution fire at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on December 19, 1960.
- During heavy fog the Mack searchlight, with its powerful lights, was used at Kennedy Airport when needed.
- When there was a major oil fire in Mill Basin in 1962, the Vollies responded with foam to help put it out.
According to the Vollies 1976 anniversary booklet, in 1974 the Vollies were approved by the New York State Department of Health as an Emergency Services Training Center.
