Boerum Hill
History.
The north end of Smith Street was the center of New York City's Mohawk community, who came mostly from "Akwesasne" and "Kahnawake", Mohawk reserves in Quebec, Canada. (Akwesasne extends across national boundaries into New York state.) Many of the Mohawk men were ironworkers, while their wives worked at a variety of jobs and created the community for their families. For 50 years, the Mohawk families called their neighborhood "Little Caughnawaga," after the homeland of Kahnawake. Many families would travel back to Kahnawake in the summer. 
 The Boerum Hill Historic District was first recognized and designated by the New York City Landmarks commission on November 20, 1973, after tireless efforts over many years by the Boerum Hill Association. 
 The Boerum Hill Historic District was then listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Many of its buildings are land marked.
