Brooklyn (2006 population: 1,030) is a Canadian suburban community in the Region of Queens Municipality in Queens County, Nova Scotia.
Located on the east bank of the Mersey River opposite Liverpool, Brooklyn was placed on the map in 1907 when the Halifax and Southwestern Railway opened between Yarmouth and Halifax.
In 1929, Bowater Mersey Paper Company Limited opened a large pulp and paper plant in Brooklyn to produce newsprint; it remains the area's largest employer.
CN Rail abandoned rail service during the early 1980s, this being the former Halifax and Southwestern Railway. Brooklyn native, Hank Snow is honoured by the Hank Snow Country Music Centre and co-located Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame which are housed in the restored heritage railway station in neighboring Liverpool.
