\nFort Hamilton is a neighborhood in the far southwestern corner of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is located south of, and often considered part of, Bay Ridge. The area stretches from 86th Street as its northern border to 101st Street\/the Narrows at the south; it is bounded by New York Bay on the west, and 7th Avenue on the east. The neighborhood is named for the United States Army installation of the same name. Fort Hamilton is patrolled by the NYPD’s 68th[1] Precinct.
\nNotable locations include the St. John’s Episcopal Church on Fort Hamilton Parkway, St. Patrick’s Church on 4th Avenue, and Fort Hamilton Memorial Park at 4th Avenue and 101st Street. There are also a handful of houses dating from the 19th Century.\n<\/p>\n
\nEducational institutions include P.S. 104K (called the Fort Hamilton School) and Fort Hamilton High School (on 83rd Street).\n<\/p>\n

The most recent renovation was completed in March 2011, with a ribbon cutting ceremony held on April 11, 2011.[2]\n<\/p>\n
