What places connect to the Brooklyn bridge?
The Brooklyn Bridge does not connect any two cities. The Brooklyn Bridge connects the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Before the five boroughs consolidated into one city in 1898, Brooklyn was its own city. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883, so for the first five years of its existence it connected the city of Brooklyn to New York City.
Who is the Brooklyn Bridge important to?
The Brooklyn Bridge is important to New Yorkers. It was the reason that the five boroughs united into one city.
Why was the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge a historic event in American History?
The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge united the five boroughs into the city of New York. This made New York a financial center.
Where does the Brooklyn Bridge lead to?
The Brooklyn Bridge transverses the East River and connects the borough of Manhattan to the borough of Brooklyn (New York City is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island).
Why is Brooklyn bridge important?
Before the Brooklyn Bridge was built, there was no way to cross the East River from Brooklyn to Manhattan, or Manhattan to Brooklyn, except by boat. Traveling between them was extremely inconvenient. The Brooklyn Bridge changed all that. It made commuting much easier; it was now possible for people to live in Brooklyn, but work in Manhattan. It is not a coincidence that the five boroughs -- which at the time were separate cities -- incorporated into one city in 1898, only 5 years after the bridge opened. The Brooklyn Bridge helped bind the boroughs together into one city.
Which two states are connected by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge?

What is the difference between the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge?
No, they are not the same bridge. Three bridges connect Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is the furthest south, the Manhattan Bridge is in the middle, and the Williamsburg Bridge is the furthest north. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge," which is perhaps where some of the confusion comes from. But when the bridge opened in 1883, New York City consisted mostly of just Manhattan. It was not until 15 years later, in 1898, that the five boroughs -- Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island -- united to form modern-day New York City. Before then, Brooklyn was its own city (the other three consisted of small towns and farmland), so the bridge was called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" because it united the city of New York and the city of Brooklyn. Of course, today Brooklyn is part of New York City, so calling it the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" is redundant.
How did the tower bridge get its name?
