The Kings County chapter from French's Gazetteer of the State of New York (1860).  Here is a look at Kings County a few years after Mather & Brockett's chapter.  Today, of course, Brooklyn is more or less synonymous with Kings County, but at the time of this volume, Kings County consisted of six towns (italicized in this list) and numerous localities:  Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, Green Point, Wallabout, Bedford, New Brooklyn, Bushwick Cross Roads, Bushwick Green, Gowanus, South Brooklyn, Flatbush, Greenfield, Flatlands, Canarsie, Gravesend, Unionville, The Cove, New Lots, East New York, Cypress Hills, New Utrecht, Fort Hamilton, Bath, and Bay Ridge.  9+ pages, PDF format, download now for $2.50.
