History

Episcopal church in Greenpoint Historic District, built in 1853.

Greenpoint was founded in 1657 by Dutch settlers and its name refers to a small peninsula of land at what is now the westernmost end of Freeman Street that protruded into the East River, hence the name, Green Point. In the nineteenth century, Greenpoint established itself as a center of shipbuilding and waterborne commerce; its shipbuilding, printing, pottery, glassworks and foundries were staffed by generation after generation of hardworking immigrants. The homes built for the merchants and the buildings erected for their workers sprang up along streets that lead down to the waterfront. Today, this area is on the National Register of Historic Places as Greenpoint’s Historic District.

Greenpoint’s East River waterfront holds the maritime history of the community. The buildings which formerly manufactured the ropes for the shipbuilding industry are still there. The launch site of the USS Monitor lies on Bushwick Creek. Long a site of shipbuilding, the neighborhood’s dockyards harbored the construction of the Monitor—the Union’s first ironclad fighting ship built during the American Civil War. The Monitor, together with seven other ironclads, was built at the Continental Ironworks in Greenpoint. USS Monitor was the first ironclad warship commissioned by the United States Navy. ...

After a long history as a stable, working-class neighborhood and immigrant haven, Greenpoint began to see some of the effects of gentrification by the 1980s. The New York Times noted extraordinary rent increases and displacement as early as 1986, mirroring the pattern of residential conversions of industrial buildings seen in nearby Williamsburg, as well as the similar formation of a smaller art community.^[1] Today, rents in Greenpoint are among Brooklyn's highest, and new construction is prevalent on streets where most buildings date back up to a century.^[2] The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed internationally. ...

Rezoning of 2005

View of Greenpoint's East River waterfront and Manhattan.

On May 11, 2005, the New York City Council passed a large-scale rezoning of the Greenpoint and Northside waterfront from manufacturing to residential and mixed use with a set-aside (and $100 million in funding) for the creation of open waterfront park space, with a two-mile-long esplanade to be built in segments. The land is being rezoned to permit new housing, where luxury highrises could be developed along with low-rise subsidized housing as part of the plan's inclusionary housing strategy. The rezoned waterfront will also include retail, a 28-acre waterfront park, and a continuous riverfront promenade. The rezoning is part of a continuing process of gentrification in the area, which was once characterized by manufacturing and other light industry interspersed with smaller residential buildings, but now contains over a hundred residentially converted loft buildings and new residential buildings. The rezoning is projected to result in the creation of about 10,000 new apartments in about 10 years. Image File history File links Gpskylineview. ... Image File history File links Gpskylineview. ...

Critics of the rezoning contend that rezoning will irrecoverably distort the existing community's character ("Manhattanization"), force out existing residents (mostly Hispanics) and lacks adequate provisions for public transportation or public safety infrastructure to accommodate the expected new residents. The advocates of rezoning cite its projected economic benefits, e.g.; a new waterfront promenade and "Inclusionary Housing". Similar set-asides for "affordable" housing have gone unfulfilled in previous large-scale developments, such as Battery Park City. The promenade of Battery Park City. ...

Demographics

Polish stores in Greenpoint.

Greenpoint is largely working class and multi-generational; it is not uncommon to find three generations of family members living in this community. The neighborhood is sometimes referred to as "Little Poland" due to its large population of working-class Polish immigrants, reportedly the second largest concentration in the United States after Chicago. ^{[citation needed]} Greenpoint is not only populated with Polish immigrants and Polish-Americans, a significant population of Hispanics (Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Ecuadorans and Mexicans) can be found north of Greenpoint Avenue. Italian Americans and Irish Americans can be found in the southeastern section of Greenpoint.

In January of 2006, State and oil company officials asserted that to date half of the spill has been cleaned up. On October 20, 2005, local residents within the area of the oil recovery operation, which is located in the predominantly commercial/industrial eastern section of Greenpoint near the East Williamsburg Industrial Park, filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil, BP and Chevron in Brooklyn State Supreme Court, alleging they have suffered adverse consequences to their health although there has been no proof to date of these claims. In fact, a Dept. of Health Study completed in May 2007, showed no vapors were coming from the spill into peoples homes.^[4] On July 17, 2007 New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil and ExxonMobil Refining and Supply Company to force a comprehensive clean up of Newtown Creek. is the 293rd day of the year (294th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
