Bushwick Avenue is a major north–south thoroughfare in the borough of Brooklyn, New York City. It begins in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, near the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge, and runs southeast through Bushwick toward its southern terminus at Broadway Junction. The avenue serves as a historic and cultural connector between these two neighborhoods.

Route

Bushwick Avenue begins near the intersection of Broadway and Flushing Avenue, and runs southeast through Bushwick. The street is known for its wide, tree-lined layout and a mix of residential and commercial properties. It intersects several major Brooklyn streets, including Myrtle Avenue, Gates Avenue, and Chauncey Street.

History

The area now known as Bushwick was originally inhabited by the Lenape people before European colonization. In 1638, the land was secured by the Dutch West India Company, which played a key role in the colonization of what would become New Netherland.

In 1661, under the direction of Governor Peter Stuyvesant, the area was officially chartered as the town of Boswijck — meaning "little town in the woods" in Dutch. Boswijck was one of the original six towns of Kings County and later evolved into what is now the Bushwick neighborhood in Brooklyn. Originally part of the old Kings County road system, Bushwick Avenue played a major role in the 19th-century development of Brooklyn. The area surrounding the avenue was settled largely by German immigrants in the late 1800s. By the early 20th century, it became a hub for industrial and residential development.

During the mid-20th century, Bushwick Avenue saw decline due to disinvestment and white flight. The 1977 blackout and subsequent looting impacted areas adjacent to the avenue. In the 2000s and 2010s, the area began to undergo gentrification, with restored brownstones and increased real estate investment.
