The Brooklyn Green Historic District is located on Routes 169, 205, U.S. Route 6, Wolf Den Road, Brown Road, Prince Hill Road, and Hyde Road in the town of Brooklyn, Connecticut. Established in 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance, which includes examples of Greek Revival, Colonial, and Federal styles.

The district's centerpiece is the 1.75-acre (7,100 m²) Brooklyn Green, a village green bounded by streets and divided into four triangular sections by diagonal roads. Notable structures surrounding the green include the Brooklyn Meeting House, town hall, library, Trinity Episcopal Church, Federated Church of Christ, and historic residences dating back to the mid-18th century.

The area is significant for illustrating patterns of development in Connecticut, its collection of architecturally valuable buildings, and its association with historically important individuals like Israel Putnam and Daniel Tyler Jr. The green retains much of its 18th- and 19th-century heritage, reflecting the town's growth and decline over time.

The district's surrounding buildings were documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), highlighting their historical and architectural importance.
