Bergen Beach was once an island, renamed for the early settler Hans Hansen Bergen, and landfill had joined it to the rest of Brooklyn by 1918. From 1896 to 1919 Percy G. Williams and Thomas Adams ran an amusement park at Bergen Beach, though much of the neighborhood beside the park was built up only in the 1990s.
