Sunset Park Brooklyn

Sunset Park, located between 41st and 44th streets and 5th and 7th Avenue, was once rural farmland owned by former New York City Police Commissioner John G. Bergen. The City of Brooklyn acquired the land in 1891, when councilmen recognized that rapid transit would bring large-scale development to the area.
