History in a Pecan
Shell
There is very little information available on Brooklyn, Texas.
Lost to history is the reason for the name - although it was probably was named
by a founding settler after a former home in New York.
Brooklyn had
an operating post office from 1872 until 1883. A school was in operation as late
as 1903. The only other bit of information on Brooklyn, Texas (for now) is that
it was once the home of dancer/movie star Ann Miller's mother. |
Brooklyn
Texas ForumDear
Mr. Troesser, I’m pleased to see there is finally a web site that includes Brooklyn,
Texas. I typed in the name of the town hoping to find some information about the
local school. My grandparents, Charles Frederick Sachtleben b. October 21, 1880
and Alice Marie Jordan, b. Abt. 1883, were both born there according to my father’s
death certificate. ... . I plan to visit with their only surviving child, now
age 90, to see if she can give me any information about the town. If she happens
to have any photos, memorabilia of any kind, I will be happy to send you copies.
