The neighborhood is within Community District 14. It is patrolled by the 61, 66th and 70th precincts of the NYPD. The name, Midwood, derives from the Dutch word, "Midwout" (middle woods), the name the settlers of New Netherland called the area of dense woodland midway between the towns of Boswyck (Bushwick) and Breuckelen (Brooklyn). Later, it became part of old Flatbush, situated between the towns of Gravesend and Flatlands. The area is served by the New York City Subway's BMT Brighton Line (B Q) at Avenue H, Avenue J, Avenue M, and Kings Highway, and to the West the (F) IND Culver Line with stations at Avenue I, Bay Pkwy, Avenue N, Avenue P and Kings Highway. There are also the 2 & 5 trains [Brooklyn College – Flatbush Ave.] NYC bus lines serving the community include the B2, B6, B7, B9, B11, B31, B41, B44, B49, B68, B82, B100 Local buses, B6, B41, B44, B49 (southbound AM rush only), B103 Limited-Stop Buses and the BM2, BM3, and BM4 Express Buses. You can board a Mn. Bound BM 2,3,4 Bus at the N/E of Ocean Ave. & Ave. K. There is no Express Bus Service On Sunday. There is also a private bus line like Monsey Trails (Brooklyn to Monsey, NY vice-versa), and a private bus service between Midwood and Borough Park that both serve the local community. The main shopping streets in the area are Kings Highway, Avenue J, Avenue M, Flatbush Avenue, Nostrand Avenue, and Coney Island Avenue. In the 1960s and the early 1970s, Nostrand Avenue between Avenues M and N was considered one of New York's best streets for shopping by New York magazine. The street was known for fashionable boutiques such as "Edna Nelkin's Jewelry," America's finest children's wear boutique, "Greenstone's" (now located on both Columbus and Madison Avenues in Manhattan), "Burton's", "Shirtland", and "The Shoe Box".
