Brooklyn, British Columbia

Brooklyn was on the west shore of Lower Arrow Lake, approximately 31 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of Castlegar, in the West Kootenay region of southern British Columbia. It was reputedly named after Brooklyn, New York City. The community was the construction headquarters of the Columbia and Western Railway and existed 1898–1900, before dying. A decade later, the vacant site was included in land subdivided for orchards,[1][2] but was submerged when the Keenleyside Dam flooded the area in 1968.[3]
