Brooklyn was its own city until 1898, when it became part of New York City. The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, which was completed in 1883, was crucial to this consolidation, as it was the first bridge to join the two cities and make travelling from one to the other relatively more convenient. Before then, people could only travel from Brooklyn to Manhattan and back by boat.
