What was here before?
The Ocean Parkway Malls traverse several neighborhoods, including (from north to south) Kensington, Midwood, and Brighton Beach. Once home to the Canarsie, these areas were later settled by the Dutch and became the towns of Flatbush and Gravesend. They remained largely rural until the mid-19th century. The completion of major roadways like the Coney Island Plank Road (now Coney Island Avenue) and the expansion of railroad access between Coney Island and the rest of Brooklyn spurred development along this corridor as the region became more accessible.
