History
DUMBO was once a dense cluster of flour and sugar warehouses tied to Brooklyn’s shipping industry; the 20th century saw industry decline and a reinvention as an arts and tech neighborhood from the 1970s onward.
Conservation
Brooklyn’s waterfront parks are the result of deliberate restoration; visitors are encouraged to stay on paths, pack out trash, and support local businesses that invest in the neighborhood’s upkeep.
