Gowanus

From an industrial powerhouse to a haven for NYC’s creative communities.

Gowanus, once a marsh and creek, became Dutch farmland, witnessed Revolutionary War battles, and later saw industrial growth after the construction of the Gowanus Canal. Efforts to clean up the waterways are nearly complete, paving the way for new development.
