Named after Jefferson Street in Bushwick; the sources we found do not say whom it honours.
A 1928 look back at Brooklyn in 1863 counted nine places named after Washington and noted that, not to be outdone, the Democrats had seen to it that there were four Jefferson Streets. Old street lists record that an earlier Jefferson Street in Bushwick became Spruce Street, then Agate Street, and is now Florence Place. Today Bushwick has both a Jefferson Street and a Jefferson Avenue, 22 blocks apart.
