Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn
Manhattan Beach is a residential neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, by Sheepshead Bay on the north, and Brighton Beach to the west. Traditionally known as an Italian and Ashkenazi Jewish neighborhood, it is also home to a sizable community of Sephardi Jews and a large Russian Jewish immigrant presence. The area is part of Brooklyn Community Board 15,〔(Brooklyn Community Boards ), New York City. Accessed December 31, 2007〕 which is represented by the Manhattan Beach Community Group, established in 1941, and the Manhattan Beach Neighborhood Association, established in 2008. The community's street names, derived from England, are in alphabetical order from A to P (Amherst, Beaumont, Coleridge, Dover, Exeter, Falmouth, through to Pembroke, with Quentin and Reynolds on old maps), with the exception of Ocean Avenue. It is patrolled by the NYPD's 61st Precinct.
==History==
The area was named for the beach on the Atlantic Ocean situated on the eastern end of Coney Island. It was developed in the last quarter of the 19th century as a resort by Austin Corbin, later president of the Long Island Rail Road, for whom a street ("Corbin Place") was named.〔(The New York and Manhattan Beach Railway ), LIRR History. Accessed June 4, 2007. ''"Immediately the whole purpose of the new RR was changed from freight to passenger, in order to service Corbin’s proposed line to the site of his immense Manhattan Beach Hotel that was being constructed on the east end of Coney Island."''〕 An antisemite who served as the Secretary of the American Society for the Suppression of Jews, he barred Jews from the resort.〔Marc R. Matrana, (''Lost Plantations of the South'' ), Oxford, Mississippi: University Press of Mississippi, 2009, pp. 40-43〕〔Leonard Benardo, Jennifer Weiss, (Street Cred ), ''The New York Times'', February 25, 2007〕
From 1954 to 1959, the neighborhood was home to Manhattan Beach Air Force Station.
