The evolution of Brooklyn’s most renowned bohemian enclave
The 20th century saw Williamsburg undergo dramatic transformations that shaped the
character and streetscape we see today. The mills, foundries, and factories that made it a
vibrant industrial district were followed by waves of European immigrants who infused it
with their languages, culture, and cuisine. As the century drew to a close, young artists and
musicians contributed new layers to the storied neighborhood, creating a bohemian paradise
for their creative endeavors. Traces of all these influences are woven into the fabric of
contemporary Williamsburg. Just beneath the facade of today’s luxury boutiques and
acclaimed restaurants, all the history is still there.
