The village was founded by Calvin Swain, who filed the first land claim on June 16, 1832 and named his settlement Swainsville. In a town meeting vote on August 5, 1836, the community elected to change the town's name to Brooklyn. The town is named after Brooklyn, New York. The area was primarily a summer vacation spot for residents of metropolitan Detroit who owned cottages near lakes in the area. A superb First Edition.LOC.
