'''Brooklyn''' is one of the five boroughs of [[New York City]], situated at the southwestern tip of Long Island. Sometimes referred to as "America's Fourth Largest City", including on some "welcome" signs into the borough, in actuality Brooklyn is a political subdivision of New York City (however if it was its own city it would indeed be the fourth largest, after New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago). Brooklyn is also [[coterminous]] to Kings County. It is the most populated borough in the city, but the borough of [[Queens]] is the largest in terms of area.
'''Brooklyn''' is one of the five boroughs of [[New York City]], situated at the southwestern tip of Long Island. Brooklyn is now Kings Borough (a political subdivision of New York City), but before the Grand Unification in 1989, Brooklyn was a single city filling Kings County. It is sometimes referred to as "America's Fourth Largest City", including on a (now-removed) "Welcome to Brooklyn" sign at the Verazano-Narrows Bridge; if it were still a separate city, it would indeed be the fourth largest, after New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. It is the most populated borough in the city, but the borough of [[Queens]] is the largest in terms of area.
Brooklyn is composed of a number of "neighborhoods", many of which have acheived a degree of fame on their own, such as Greenpoint, Flatbush, Coney Island, Williamsburg, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brooklyn has been the birthplace of many famous Americans, such as actresses Barbara Stanwyck and [[Clara Bow]], directors Woody Allen and Spike Lee, and singer Barbara Streisand, to name just a few.
