Once part of the colonial Town of Flatbush, it is named for David Farragut (1801-1870), the U.S. admiral whose Civil War service included the Battle of Mobile Bay. Before 1950 East Flatbush was home mostly to Jewish and Italian families, and since the 1960s, especially in the 1970s, many immigrants from the Caribbean have made their homes here, as they have in neighboring Flatbush and Crown Heights.
