Stuyvesant Heights is a neighborhood in north-central Brooklyn, a part of New York City settled in the mid-17th century before the borough of Brooklyn was incorporated as a city. The area can boast of some of Brooklyn's most handsome and historic brownstones and grand old apartment buildings. Stuyvesant Heights is one of the four neighborhoods comprising the widely known enclave of Bedford–Stuyvesant. Streets in Stuyvesant Heights were named after Prominent figures in American history. Francis Lewis was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Bainbridge, Chauncey, Decatur and MacDonough were all naval heroes of the Tripolitan War and the War of 1812. the Dripps Map of 1869 shows that the area was still largely rural with a few freestanding houses mostly on MacDonough Street. The real development of the district began slowly at first, accelerating between 1885 and 1900, and gradually tapering off during the first two decades of the 20th century. Construction of masonry row houses in the 1870s began to transform the rural district into an urban area. The first row of masonry houses in Stuyvesant Heights was built in 1872 on MacDonough Street for developer Curtis L. North. In 1880s and 1890s more rows were added, most of the Stuyvesant Heights north of Decatur Street looked much as it does today. Stuyvesant Heights was emerging as a neighborhood entity with its own distinctive characteristics. The houses have large rooms, high ceilingsm and large windows.The neighborhood merged with Bedford in 1930 to become the hyphenated name Bedford-Stuyvesant. During this time major change took place due to the Depression years of the 1930s. Many of the original property owners had become either too old or too poor to maintain their spacious quarters. More and more dwelling were sold to Blacks, who were attracted from Harlem to the South. There is a solid tradition of private home ownership, good schools and the relatively smoke free air. This created the second largest Black community in New York. It has a historic district between Throop Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard just north of Fulton Street with well-kept brownstones with middle-income African American families residing in them. Many churches are well known in the area, including Our Lady of Victory, Our Lady of the Presentation (both Roman Catholic Churches), and the United House of Prayer for all People.
