Heading north brings us into the hood known as South Side. It goes from N 6th St, with Grand St, to Metropolitan Ave between Bushwick Ave and the East River. This hood is mostly residential. Originally, it was settled by the Dutch West India Co in 1638 after purchasing it from Native Americans. In 1661, it was chartered as part of Boswijck, though it was taken over by the English a few years later and anglicized to Bushwick. For much of the part durring the colonial era it was mainly shrubland that was part of Bushwick Creek. In 1802, Realtor Richard M Woodhull acquired 13 acres to develope land there and named it Williamsburgh after Colonel Jonathan Williams, who surveyed the land. In 1827 it became its own village leading to its own town in 1840, and later on its own city in 1852. As it was being reorganized into wards, the 2nd Ward consisted of South Side, which was industrialized mainly by the Domino Sugar Factory dominating it. In 1903, the Williamsburg Br was built to allow for vehicular access to Manhattan along with the subway. At first many of its residents consisted of Hasidic Jews and Italians, but it later on became home to Hispanics durring the postwar era. Unfortunately, the South Side has became home to a major gentrification wave that is pricing out longtime residents due to the new construction. You can get here by taking the subway to Metropolitan Ave (G), Lorimer St-Metropolitan Ave (L), Ghram Ave (L), and Grand St-Bushwick Ave (L). Here is what you will find in South Side.
