== History ==
Wallabout gained its name from the French-speaking Walloons of Belgium who were the first settlers on the bay in 1624. The bay was a good location for ferries across the east river to New Amsterdam. By 1884, a wholesale produce, meat and provisions market was in place in Wallabout. While originally in 1884 there was a few wooden stalls for vendors, as the market continued to grow the city of Brooklyn decided they would build a new market with great architectural design.<ref name = "history"/>

The halls were constructed in the [Dutch Colonial Revival architecture](/source/Dutch_Colonial_Revival_architecture) by the architect [William Tubby](/source/William_Tubby) in 1894-1896. The Market was a host to produce, meat, dairy, fish and other food vendors in addition to grocery stores, restaurants and wholesalers. The market is said to have been beautiful compared to other competing markets. <ref name = "history"/>

They were demolished during World War II for the expansion of the [Brooklyn Navy Yard](/source/Brooklyn_Navy_Yard).
