   • Fort Greene is named after an actual Revolutionary War-era fort. The tranquility of Fort Greene’s leafy, brownstone-lined streets belies its dark origin story.
   • The remains of over 11,500 people lie buried underneath the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. In the aftermath of the Battle of Brooklyn, the British seized control of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York harbor.
   • “Pigdom” During the mid-19th century, as Fort Greene’s iconic townhouses were being constructed around the park, the far western edge of the neighborhood (in an area that now spills over into Clinton Hill) was a shantytown known as “Pigdom.”
   • A Historical Hotbed for Black Culture. By the mid-1800s, Fort Greene had become the epicenter of Black life in Brooklyn. The first school for Black children, “Coloured School No. 1” (now Public School 67) opened in Fort Greene in 1847.
