---

This area of Brooklyn was primarily a manufacturing district housing warehouses and factories that made machinery, card-board boxes and Brillo soap-pads. With the decline of manufacturing industry, the area was increasingly gentrified as artists moved in in the late 1970s and the area became largely residential. The acronym 'Dumbo' ('Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass') dates to 1978. In 2007 Dumbo was designated New York's 90th historic district. Increasing property prices in Manhattan in the 1990s helped hip restaurants, photomusic art studios, galleries, indie film shops, fashion/furniture showrooms and band practice spaces locate there.
