Heading east brings us into the hood known as East Williamsburg. It goes from Flushing Ave to the BQE (I-278) between Bushwick Ave, with Humbolt St, and Newtown Creek. Originally, it was settled in the 1700's and was known as Cripplebush, which was mostly shorelines. Durring the American Revolution, it was being cleared of thickets that the British used for fuel. In 1800, Richard M Woodhull bought the land and named it Williamsburg after Col Johnathan Williams. In 1827, it was incorporated into a village and later into a town and city. In 1835, wards were made for Williamsburg and the 3rd Ward was known as East Williamsburg. In 1868, the LIRR created the Bushwick Branch to provide for passanger service. In 1903, the Grand St Br was errected to cross over to Queens. In 1920, the Bushwick Branch stopped with passanger service and was used for freight only since then. Durring the early 1900's, an industrial plant was being built making East Williamsburg a center for industry. In 1939, the Kosciuzko Br was built and replaced the Penny Br. The postwar era brought an end to most of industry except for where Keyspan is now. Realtors even made the claim that East Williamsburg wouldn't be associated with Bushwick in the claim that there was little crime compared to it. Many of the residents who live are mostly PRs and blacks. You can get here by taking the subway to Morgan Ave (L). Here is what you will find in East Williamsburg.
