Update
(formerly Swainsville) is a village in Jackson County of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the village population was 1,176. It is located just off U.S. Highway 12 (formerly U.S. Highway 112) in Columbia Township.
Brooklyn is located in a portion of central lower Michigan known for its lush, rolling green landscapes called the Irish Hills. The area was primarily a summer vacation spot for residents of metropolitan Detroit who owned cottages near lakes in the area. In recent years -- and with the addition of Michigan International Speedway (in NW Lenawee County) and Interstate 94 -- Brooklyn and other nearby cities have established year-round populations.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.0 square miles (2.6 km²), of which, 1.0 square miles (2.6 km²) of it is land and 0.98% is water.
