Gravesend / Homecrest (Brooklyn Apartments) Neighborhood Information for Apartment Renters

Gravesend was founded in 1643 by Lady Deborah Moody, an Englishwoman seeking religious freedom, and is either named after the English seaport of Gravesend, Kent or is a corruption of the Dutch word Gravenzande that means "The Count's Beach". Gravesend is a rare English settlement in New York where most villages were originally Dutch, The Gravesend Cemetery is a historical treasure that is woefully neglected. Thirty-five percent of all immigrants in the early 1990s period settled in Brooklyn, with immigrants from the former Soviet Union making up one-quarter of that total. Gravesend-Homecrest was the most popular destination. There is a Hassidic community in Gravesend.
