The Fulton Street branch of New York City’s Eighth Avenue Independent Subway (IND) was constructed during the 1930s with the aid of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) funds. On April 9, 1936, nine stations opened in Brooklyn, extending the reach of the subway four miles from downtown Brooklyn to Rockaway Avenue near East New York, primarily along Fulton Street.
