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 â before and after being incorporated with New York City â see New York City directories.
Brooklyn in the middle 19th century was a commercial rival of New York City.
The Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) has put Brooklyn City Directories online on a collection on the internet archive (from 1822 onward with some years missing). See also the table below.
