This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

Brighton Beach is included in an area from Sheepshead Bay to Sea Gate that was purchased from the Native Americans in 1645 for a gun, a blanket and a kettle.<ref name="Douglass">((cite journal|last=Douglass|first=Harvey | date = 1933| title=Coney Island Scenes Shift, Never Change | url=https://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/59998009/ |journal=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle |access-date=March 23, 2016))</ref>

Brighton Beach was located on sandy terrain, and before development in the 1860s, had mostly farms. The area was part of the "Middle Division" of the town of [[Gravesend, Brooklyn|Gravesend]], which was the sole English settlement out of the original six towns in [[Brooklyn|Kings County]]. By the mid-18th century, thirty-nine lots in the division had been distributed to the descendants of English colonists.<ref name="Williams"/>

In 1868, [[William A. Engeman]] built a resort in the area.<ref name="Coney Island Hotels" /> The resort was given the name "Brighton Beach" in 1878 by [[Henry C.

Adjacent to the hotel, Engeman built the [[Brighton Beach Race Course]] for [[thoroughbred]] [[horse racing]].<ref name="Coney Island Hotels"/> In December 1887, an extremely high tide washed over the area, creating a new, temporary connection between Sheepshead Bay and the ocean.

After that extremely high tide, and a decade of [[Coastal erosion|beach erosion]], the Brighton Beach Hotel, by then owned by the Railway, faced the possibility of being "undermined and carried away."<ref name="SciAmer1888">((cite journal|title=Moving the Brighton Beach Hotel|journal=Scientific American|location=New York|date=April 14, 1888|quote=Reprinted as "A Hotel on Wheels," in ''The Engineer'' (London, ENG), April 27, 1888 |url=http://www.scientificamerican.com/magazine/sa/1888/04-14/|publisher=Scientificamerican.com|access-date=November 12, 2015)) ((subscription required|date=November 2015))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://arrts-arrchives.com/brbchmove.html |title=Brighton Beach |publisher=Arrts-arrchives.com |date=May 11, 2004 |access-date=November 12, 2015))</ref> A plan termed "highly ingenious and novel" was initiated by the superintendent of the Railway, J.L. Morrow, and its secretary, E.L. Langford, to elevate and move the building as a whole, 495 feet further inland. This was accomplished by lifting the estimated 5000 ton, ((convert|460|x|150|ft|m)) building, using 13 hydraulic jacks, after which 24 lines of railroad track &ndash; a mile and a half length in total &ndash; were laid under it, and 112 railroad "platform cars" (flat cars) pulled by six steam [[locomotive]]s were used to pull the hotel away from the sea.<ref name=SciAmer1888/> This careful engineering (by B.C. Miller) made the move successful; it began on April 2, 1888, and continued for the next nine days, and was the largest building move of the 19th century.<ref>((cite news|title=The Big Hotel on Wheels|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=April 4, 1888|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1888/04/14/archives/the-big-hotel-on-wheels.html|access-date=November 12, 2015)) ((subscription required|date=November 2015))</ref>

[[Anton Seidl]] and the [[Metropolitan Opera]] brought their popular interpretations of [[Richard Wagner|Wagner]] to the Brighton Beach Music Hall, where [[John Philip Sousa]] was in residence, and the New Brighton Theater was a hotspot for vaudeville. Visitors for tea at [[Reisenweber's Brighton Beach Casino]] would be served by Japanese waitresses in full costume. At an enormous private club, the Brighton Beach Baths, members could swim, access a private beach, and play [[American handball|handball]], [[mah-jongg]], and cards.<ref name="Williams" />

The village, along with the rest of Gravesend, was annexed into the 31st Ward of the [[City of Brooklyn]] in 1894.<ref>((cite book | title=Appleton's Dictionary of New York and Vicinity | year=1904 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MzUWAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA66 | access-date=November 12, 2015 | page=66))</ref>

===Early 20th century===
In 1905, Brighton Beach Park opened its own area of amusements, calling it Brighton Pike. Brighton Pike offered a boardwalk, games, live entertainment (including the [[Miller Brothers 101 Ranch|Miller Brothers]]' wild-west show: ''[[101 Ranch Wild West Show|101 Ranch]]''), and a huge steel roller coaster. The park was shut down in 1919 after it burned down.<ref name="Williams" /> The actual beach remained popular, though.<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/>

Brighton Beach was re-developed as a fairly dense residential community with the final rebuilding of the Brighton Beach railway to [[rapid transit]] standards, becoming the [[Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation]] (BMT)'s Brighton Line, which opened ((circa|1920)) (the line is now served by the [[New York City Subway]]'s ((NYCS trains|Brighton|type=service))). The subway line within the neighborhood is above ground on an elevated structure. The opening of the BMT Brighton Line had conflicting consequences: although it made Brighton Beach viable as a year-round community, it was now much more feasible for visitors to return home in the evening rather than spend the night. This led to the closure of the Brighton Beach Hotel in 1924.<ref name="Williams" />

The years just before and following the [[Great Depression]] brought with them a neighborhood consisting mostly of first- and second-generation Jewish-Americans and, later, [[Holocaust]] [[concentration camp]] survivors.<ref name="Internet Archive 2008"/><ref>((cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hatX-W6PCEEC |title=New Immigrants in New York |author=Nancy Foner |isbn=9780231124157 |publisher=Columbia University Press |date=2001 |access-date=November 12, 2015))</ref> Of the estimated 55,000 Holocaust survivors living in New York City as of 2011, most live in Brighton Beach.<ref>((cite news |author=Suddath, Claire |year=2010 |work=Time (online, November 13) |title=The Plot to Cheat Germany's Holocaust Survivors' Fund |url=http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2031278,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101116121852/http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2031278,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 16, 2010 | access-date=November 11, 2015))</ref> To meet the bursting cultural demands, the New Brighton Theater converted itself to the States' first Yiddish theater in 1919.<ref name="Williams" /><ref name="Internet Archive 2008">((cite web|title=Coney Island and the Jews|website=Internet Archive|date=November 27, 2008|url=https://archive.org/details/coneyislandjews00york|access-date=November 13, 2015))</ref>

Today, Brighton Beach has many synagogues and Jewish institutions, including a [[Chabad]] center,<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.chabadneshama.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/89655/jewish/About-us.htm))</ref> a [[Mikvah]] and a Jewish day school called Mazel.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.mazeldayschool.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/2956935/jewish/Our-History.htm))</ref>

===Late 20th century and Soviet immigration===
[[File:Театр Миллениум.jpg|thumb|right|The "Millennium Theater", now the "Master Theater" and NetCost supermarket]]

After [[World War II]], the quality of life in Brighton Beach decreased significantly as the poverty rate and the ratio of older residents to younger residents increased.<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/> Due to the [[History of New York City (1946–77)|1970s fiscal crisis]], government workers and the middle class had moved to suburban areas, while people subdivided houses into [[single room occupancy]] residences for the poor, the elderly, and the mentally ill. Brighton Beach suffered from arson as much as it did from constant drug trades.<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/> During the summer, however, people from all around the city flocked to Brighton Beach's beach next to the Atlantic Ocean.<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/>

In the mid-1970s, Brighton Beach became a popular place to settle for [[Russian Americans in New York City|Soviet immigrants]], mostly [[Ashkenazi Jews]] from [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russia]] and [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukraine]].<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/> So many Soviet Jews immigrated to Brighton Beach that the area became known as "Little [[Odessa]]" (after the Ukrainian city on the [[Black Sea]] with significant Jewish population in the first half of 20th century).<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/>

The 1991 [[collapse of the Soviet Union]] and the subsequent significant changes in the social and economic circumstances of post-Soviet states led thousands of former Soviet citizens to immigrate to the United States.<ref name="Our Brooklyn 1936"/> Many more immigrants from the former Soviet Union, who primarily spoke [[Russian language|Russian]], chose Brighton Beach as a place to settle. This included an influx of immigrants from the [[Caucasus]], mostly from countries such as [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and [[Azerbaijan]].<ref name=":0">((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/14/nyregion/brighton-beach-photo-essay.html|title=Welcome to Брайтон Бич, Brooklyn|last1=Yurenev|first1=Alexey|date=December 14, 2018|work=The New York Times|access-date=January 26, 2020|last2=Akhtiorskaya|first2=Yelena|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://globalcitynyc.com/|title=Global City NYC|website=Global City NYC|access-date=January 26, 2020))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://immigrationtounitedstates.org/507-former-soviet-union-immigrants.html|title=Former Soviet Union immigrants|website=Immigration to the United States|language=en|access-date=January 26, 2020))</ref>
