Brooklyn Pacific County, Washington
BROOKLYN: A rural community of homes and farms near the junction of the upper North River and Fall Creek in northeast Pacific County. The name Brooklyn was arbitrarily assigned by postal department officials when the community post office was established Dec. 10, 1891. Postal officials asked the designated postmaster Mrs. Marion (Emma C.) Roberts to suggest a name for the community of scattered farms. Mrs. Roberts submitted Clifton (a contraction of Cliffs Town) in honor of her son Clifford Roberts. The department rejected the name because there was already a Clifton in Mason County, and substituted Brooklyn. The post office was closed May 16, 1969.
