Fort Where?
Fort Hamilton is one of those neighborhood names many Brooklynites don’t know.
It refers to the south end of Bay Ridge.
This is the part of Bay Ridge that’s closest to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It’s closest to the military base, Fort Hamilton, whose name it shares. It’s where the R train ends — the last stop is at 95th Street and Fourth Avenue, outside Brooklyn Public Library’s Fort Hamilton Branch, which was built in 1907 with funds from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
