Once home to Ebbet's Field, home of the beloved (and, to some Brooklynites, reviled) Brooklyn Dodgers from 1912 through 1957, this area, which lies on the glacial ridge, was formerly called Crow Hill, and was the site of a prison. It was a quiet, sparsely populated settlement in the original Dutch town of Breukelen. The 1800s saw its development as an upper middle class suburb. In the early twentieth century, its name was changed , perhaps intending to elevate its status. Today, it is bordered by Atlantic, Ralph and Flatbush Avenues and Empire Boulevard and is home to a diverse mix of residents.
