These towns merged into a thriving city which eventually became part of New York City in 1898. Today, Kings County is home to a diverse population, a blend of cultures and traditions as rich as its history. As you wander through the streets of Brooklyn, remember that you’re walking through a king’s namesake. Kings County, a place where history and heart intertwine.
