Red Hook

From a thriving port to a spirited pocket of creativity.

Red Hook, named after its red earth and land shape, was settled by Europeans in the 1600s. It evolved from Dutch mills to a bustling port by the mid-19th century. This prosperity waned in the 1960s due to shipping changes. Now, a revival led by creative individuals cherishing its isolation has transformed it into a renaissance hub resembling a close-knit small town, where passion projects thrive.
