The Brooklyn Bridge crosses the East River, which is technically not a river, but an estuary, or tidal strait. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
The original name of the Brooklyn bridge was The Great East River Suspension Bridge.

Manhattan is an island. Brooklyn, along with Queens, is part of the island known as Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens take up the western end of Long Island. The Brooklyn Bridge connects the borough of Brooklyn to the borough of Manhattan. It transverses the East River at Lower Manhattan on the Manhattan side, and somewhere between the Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill neighborhoods on the Brooklyn side.
Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, got its name from the "Bridge" that spanned the river in the area, which was originally called the "Bridge" by early settlers. The name evolved from the presence of a wooden bridge built in the 17th century, facilitating transportation and trade. Over time, the settlement around the bridge grew, leading to the establishment of the town, which was officially named Bridgetown. The name reflects the town's historical significance as a commercial hub in the region.
