==List of neighborhoods by historical town==
Prior to the consolidation of the entirety of Kings county into the City of Brooklyn, Brooklyn consisted of six towns with clearly-defined borders. These towns were, counter-clockwise from the north, Bushwick, Brooklyn, Flatlands, Gravesend, New Utrecht, with Flatbush in the middle. The modern neighborhoods bearing these names are located roughly in the center of each of these original towns. The extreme eastern section of the historical Town of Brooklyn was also known as the Town of New Lots for several years in the mid-nineteenth century.
