Brooklyn is one of the oldest communities in Conecuh County. It was founded in 1820 by Edwin Robinson, who named it for his hometown in Connecticut. The original settlement stood at the mouth of Ard and Bottle Creek, about three miles northwest of today's community.
A U.S. post office opened in 1827, and Brooklyn became a thriving trading center, growing cotton and shipping it down the Sepulga River toward Pensacola. Brooklyn Baptist Church was organized in 1821 by Elder Alexander Travis in a log building that served as both school and church. In 1860 Eli Hirchfelder gave three acres on Academy Hill, beside Brooklyn Academy, to the congregation, and the current sanctuary there was completed in October 1861; it was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1983. Farming and later timber kept Brooklyn prosperous for about a century. Loree Ralls Hamiter, a lifelong resident, served as postmaster from 1954 to 1991, and the post office closed on November 19, 2011.
