Cobble Hill is a neighborhood in Brooklyn bound by Atlantic Avenue, Degraw Street, Court Street and Hicks Street. Originally a Dutch farming settlement, the neighborhood got its name from the large amount of cobblestones being disposed from European cargo ships. The piles of stones were later used to build forts during the Revolutionary War. After the street pattern guidelines established in 1834, construction of homes in the neighborhood went underway. The 45 houses and 112 residents were a mix of Native Americans, Dutch, German, Irish, Swedes, Norwegian, and English expats from New England.

One of the oldest subway lines in New York runs underneath the Atlantic Terminal that has been holding tours for the past several years. Bob Diamond, who leads the tour, started a quest called “what’s behind the wall”. The tour and his personal quest are to search for the missing pages of John Wilkes Booth’s journals and steam train which is said to be abandoned in the tunnel. Bob Diamond searched and found the entrance after years of discouragement from the NYFD and historians. When he finally reaching the entrance of the hidden tunnel he said he found a wall and felt that it was blocking the entrance of the secret tunnel. After breaking down the wall, he found his instincts were right.

The two commercial main streets, Court and Smith, host some of Brooklyn’s finest shops and restaurants like Bar Tabac, Ted & Honey, Lily and the Cobble Hill Cinemas.

Cobble Hill has one of the strongest communities in Brooklyn, you’ll find lots of families who know one another, community outreach and events. It’s safe and has some of the best neighborhood history, film series, bagels and bookstores in New York City.

Cobble Hill is a charming part of Brooklyn where you’ll probably find fresh organic food from local farms and the newest novel printed on recycled paper, with a Cobble Hill resident’s name on the cover.
