== History ==
Breukelen gets its name from the Dutch in 1683, when present-day Brooklyn was known as Breukelen. It later changed to Brockland, Brocklin, Brookline, and finally Brooklyn. The housing project borders the community of Flatlands to the southeast, which the Dutch originally called Nieuw Amersfoort. It, along with the towns of New Lots, Flatbush, and Gravesend, were annexed by the city of Brooklyn between 1886 and 1896.
In 2001 the New York City Housing Authority authorized $4.5 million in upgrades to Breukelen Houses. Residents enjoyed new fencing, walkways, shrubbery, playgrounds, and updated lighting. In February 2007 the Breukelen Community Center opened its doors to the homeless as one of nine winter emergency “warming spots” in the city.〔New York City. Homepage (2007). News From the Blue Room.
