==History==
*[[William Dobson]] (1610–1646)
Ocean Hill received its name in [[1890]] for being slightly hilly. Hence it was [[subdivision|subdivided]] from the larger community of [[Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn|Stuyvesant Heights]]. From the beginning of the 20th century to the 1960s Ocean Hill was an Italian enclave. At that time the neighborhood had many well-kept homes and stores.

===Born 18th Century===
In [[1968]], the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district experienced the worst teacher strike in history. At that time, the [[New York City Board of Education]] controlled the entire school system. In response to complaints from parents in poor minority neighborhoods that schools were failing their students, the [[Ford Foundation]] helped fund an experimental district in that gave control to local educators and families. The program started off smoothly, but it ended as a fiery chapter in city history. Charging that Board of Ed employees were seeking to sabotage the decentralization effort, black district leaders exiled 13 teachers and six administrators -- most of them Jewish -- to other districts. As the teachers’ [[trade union|union]] protested the transfers, the two sides traded harsh accusations of racism and anti-Semitism. Teachers declared a strike, shuttering most of the city’s schools. The conflict finally ended when the Board of Ed agreed to set up local school boards throughout the city.

Ocean Hill is in the process of [[gentrification]]. An increasing number of [[Asian people|Asian]], [[Hispanic]], [[White people|White]] as well as [[Black people|Black]] professionals are moving into the area. This is because the rents are slightly lower than the rest of Bed-Stuy proper and many abandoned buildings and [[brownstone]]s have been rehabilitated. [[Prospect Plaza Houses]], once a notorious housing project unit, has been closed by the [[New York City Housing Authoriy]] to make room for condominiums.


===Born 20th Century===
The 73rd Police Precinct covers the area. For many years from the 1960s to approximately 2001 along with neighboring [[Brownsville, Brooklyn|Brownsville]], Ocean Hill experienced a high crime rate. Currently, the crime rate for Ocean Hill has reached an all time low.<ref>Patrolmen's Belovent Association [http://www.nycpba.org/archive/nd/03/nd-030621-stats.html]</ref>

In recent years some trendy shops have attracted businesses into Rockaway Avenue. There are attempts to overhaul the area to resemble [[Fort Greene, Brooklyn|Fort Greene]]-[[Clinton Hill, Brooklyn|Clinton Hill]] due to the low rents and massive retail space. [[Brownstone]]s, [[tenement]] and regular houses in the area are one of the lowest in Brooklyn, ranging from $300,000 to $600,000.

Many residents of Ocean Hill consider themselves residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The news media also uses the Bed-Stuy name. Recently due to [[gentrification]] many real estate developers and the community board use the name Bedford-Stuyvesant/Ocean Hill or just plainly Bedford-Stuyvesant to avoid the neighborhood being confused with neighboring [[Brownsville, Brooklyn|Brownsville]], considered a symbol of urban blight to many. <ref>Corcoran Real Estate Group, Inc.[http://www.corcoran.com/neighborhoods/index.aspx?page=BrooklynDescription&N=Bedford-Stuyvesant], Accessed [[December 10]], [[2007]].</ref> <ref> Jeff Grandis Realty [http://www.jeffgrandis.com/n-bedford.php] Accessed [[December 10]], [[2007]]</ref>
