Diskussion:Red Hook (Brooklyn)

Geschichte/Name

Widerspruechliche Aussagen in dt. und engl. Wikipedia, wobei ich dazu tendiere der engl. Aussage mehr Glauben zu schenken: "The village was settled by Dutch colonists of New Amsterdam in 1636, and named Roode Hoek. In Dutch "Hoek" means "point" or "corner" and not the English hook (i.e., not something curved or bent). The actual "hoek" of Red Hook was a point on an island that stuck out into Upper New York Bay at today's Dikeman Street west of Ferris Street. From the 1880s to the present time, people who live in the eastern area of Red Hook have referred to their neighborhood as "The Point"." Somit waere die Aussage auf der dt. Seite FALSCH!
