Why is it named Werkville?
Werkville was named to pay homage to Weeksville, which was a historically Black neighborhood in Crown Heights, NY founded by free slaves.
Do you know about Weeksville? Well if you don’t, here is a history lesson they left out of our textbooks: In 1838 James Weeks, a Black dockworker from Virginia bought a plot of land from Henry C. Thompson, a free Black man and land investor, in the Ninth Ward of central Brooklyn. Thus forming the historic Weeksville community, established by a group of African-American land investors and political activists, and covered an area in the borough's eastern Bedford Hills area, bounded by present-day Fulton Street, East New York Avenue, Ralph Avenue, and Troy Avenue. Where the thriving Black community once stood, is now Weeksville Heritage Center.
