Brooklyn, Missouri
Brooklyn is an unincorporated community in Harrison County, Missouri, United States.[1]
History
Brooklyn was platted in 1865.[2] One source states the name is a transfer from Brooklyn, New York,[3] while according to another source a brook (Big Creek) near the town site may have caused the name to be selected.[2] A post office called Brooklyn was established in 1868, and remained in operation until 1908.[4]
