Hanson Place Baptist Church (Brooklyn, New York, N.Y.)
The Baptist faith was practiced as early as the 17th and 18th centuries in the territories and colony that are now known as New York City. However, a Baptist house of worship did not come to Brooklyn until 1823, with the founding of the First Baptist Church (later known as the Baptist Temple). In 1847, the first African-American Baptist church in Brooklyn, Concord Baptist Church of Christ, was founded. Baptists were one of the largest denominations in the City of New York during the mid-19th century, continuing to grow with the influx of immigrants into the 20th century.
