Brooklyn in 1897 was still an independent city, though its days were numbered: it would join Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island in the consolidated City of Greater New York on January 1, 1898. Its population had passed 800,000 by 1890 and kept climbing as families moved in from Manhattan and from abroad. The waterfront carried much of the work, with sugar refineries, breweries, and piers along the East River, while the Brooklyn Navy Yard built and repaired ships for the federal government. Residents already spoke of the Brooklyn Bridge, finished in 1883, as the link that tied their borough to Lower Manhattan, and many wondered how their civic identity would survive the merger.
