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.
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.
