Brooklyn Heights

Over the past 4 years of my time at City Tech I have never even given a thought to Brooklyn Heights being a historcial site. I was suprised to know that their are bluffs in Brooklyn, I guess it makes sense cause Brooklyn Heights. Learning about the different street names was interesting as well. For example naming streets after fruits to encourage people to move to the heights. I also did not know that their are areas in the heights that were part of the underground railroad.
