Vinegar Hill, NY Real Estate And Homes For Sale 0 listings

Formerly named Breuckelen by Dutch settlers, Vinegar Hill sits in northern Brooklyn. This nabe gets its name from being a battle site in the famous Irish Rebellion of 1798. In the 18th Century, Vinegar Hill was sold to developers who had plans to make the land somewhere New Yorkers could visit in the summer. Instead, there was a shipyard built, along with houses for workers of the shipyard, but was sold to the government to become what is now known as the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
