The town of Brooklyn (1856-1872) was situated in what is now Oakland, east of Lake Merritt. It was named for the ship Brooklyn that brought Mormon settlers to California in 1846 and was established in 1856 by the joining of two settlements, Clinton and San Antonio. On April 4, 1870, it annexed the nearby town of Lynn. In 1872, voters approved its annexation by Oakland.
