Brooklyn directories

On January 1, 1898, New York City absorbed East Bronx, Brooklyn, western Queens County, and Staten Island. For Brooklyn directories that are combined with Manhattan – before and after being incorporated with New York City – see New York City directories.

Brooklyn in the middle 19th century was a commercial rival of New York City.
