Unincorporated community in Missouri, U.S. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brooklyn is an unincorporated community in west central Harrison County, Missouri, United States.[1]
The community is at the confluence of Shain Creek and the West Fork Big Creek. It is at the end of Missouri Route Z approximately two miles west of US Route 69 and five miles west of the community of Ridgeway.[2]
Brooklyn was platted in 1865.[3] One source states the name is a transfer from Brooklyn, New York,[4] while according to another source a brook (Big Creek) near the town site may have caused the name to be selected.[3] A post office called Brooklyn was established in 1868, and remained in operation until 1908.[5]
