Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Sun Nov 4 21:54:02 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway to get New Trains, posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Nov 4 21:32:27 2007. Well, the way I read it: the original six were independent towns (townships?) as established in 1683. The other historical dates I could find were as follows:1816: VILLAGE of Brooklyn established within the town of Brooklyn. 1827: VILLAGE of Williamsburgh established within town of Bushwick. 1834: Village and Town of Brooklyn (inclusive) becomes CITY of Brooklyn. 1851: (amending what I had originally posted) VILLAGE of Williamsburgh secedes from Town of Bushwick and becomes CITY of Williamsburgh. So you could infer that the original six towns were the "townships". wayne |
