One of the most historically significant spots in all of Brooklyn is the intersection of Kings Highway and Flatbush Avenue. Here the British occupation force encamped during the summer of 1776. This was the village center of Flatlands and the Flatlands Reformed Church remains, set back form the main roadway along what is now East 40th Street. The elegant Greek Revival structure, built in 1848, is the third on the site and reportedly covers the gravesite of some of the village's earliest settlers, including Pieter Claesen Wyckoff. The fascinating cemetery with many Dutch gravestones contains several later Wyckoff family graves.
