About Middle Village
The area was named in the early nineteenth-century for its location as the mid-point between Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the Jamaica Turnpike. Middle Village is served by Juniper Valley Park, which is a large public park built on what was once called Juniper Swamp (filled in 1915). Originally composed of Western European immigrants, primarily German, Irish & Italian. Today the neighborhood is much more ethnically diverse.
