Greenpoint, Industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, United States.
Located at the northernmost point of Brooklyn, Greenpoint borders Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City across Newtown Creek to the north.
The area transformed from farmland into an industrial center during the 1830s when entrepreneur Neziah Bliss established manufacturing facilities along the East River.
Greenpoint maintains strong Polish influences through numerous Polish restaurants, markets, and businesses, making it the second-largest Polish-American community in the United States.
The neighborhood connects to Manhattan via the G subway line and East River ferry service, with median home prices reaching 1.7 million dollars in 2021.
The district preserves industrial heritage through converted structures like The Astral apartments and The Pencil Factory Complex, both dating from the 19th century.
