100 Years Ago In Brooklyn

[EE Broadway Local 18]

On May 1,1908, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company opened the first subway line to Brooklyn. The stations were Borough Hall, Hoyt Street, Nevins Street and Atlantic Avenue. It would not be until August 23,1920 that the line would be extended to Franklin Avenue and Utica Avenue (Clark Street would open April 15,1919.).

That was a great time in Brooklyn. The subways were expanding and so were the neighborhood development was booming.
