Flatbush Avenue Street Sign
The years between 1920 and 1964 mark a golden age for the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn as it began to develop the diversity and liveliness that it is known for today. Flatbush evolved from suburb to urban village. Through the development of Flatbush Avenue and the progress of people from different racial and religious groups, Flatbush became the urban community it is today, continuing to thrive through its diverse and unique culture.
