About ZIP Code 11251

ZIP code 11251 is designated for the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Kings County. Established in 1801 during President John Adams' administration, the Brooklyn Navy Yard operated for 165 years as one of America's premier naval shipyards, building more than 160 ships including the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor and battleships USS Arizona and USS Missouri. The Navy decommissioned the yard on June 30, 1966.

In 1969, New York City purchased the 300-acre site for one dollar and transformed it into an industrial park. Now managed by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, the yard hosts over 500 businesses and contributes more than $2.5 billion annually to the city's economy. Brooklyn serves as the valid mailing city.
