First sentence: Although the first European settlers arrived in Flatbush as early as the 1620s, the first known land purchase was not made until 1635, and the area was not officially recognized as a town until 1652 when Governor General Peter (Petrus) Stuyvesant granted it a formal charter or land patent.
