Originally chartered as the Dutch Nieuw Nederland colony town of Midwout in 1651, the name Flatbush is an Anglicization of the Dutch language Vladbos meaning wooded land. Midwood was an alternative name for Flatbush into the early 20th century but now describes the area immediately south of Brooklyn College. In Flatbush you'll find Erasmus Hall High School, the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church, Brooklyn College, and Ebbets Field, the last Brooklyn home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, long since demolished. It is known for its vibrant Caribbean community.
