I've been to the Brooklyn in both Cattaraugus County and Kings County. I've never been to the Brooklyn in Delaware County, although I have been to Harvard in Delaware County. I have to say I like the Brooklyn in Cattaraugus County better -- it's only a short drive from East Otto State forest.

Smallest N.Y. town keeps shrinking but residents hang on
"RED HOUSE, N.Y. β The state park destroyed most of this tiny town. Then came the dam, then the Interstate, and, eventually, the bulldozers."
"Sure, there's still a town hall in Red House, which has the smallest population of any town in New York. It's a small, unremarkable white structure, hidden at the bottom of the same mountains once used by Native Americans as a burial ground. A smattering of classical, nostalgic farmhouses, spaced comfortably along a one-mile stretch of Bay State Road, still remain, too, including the childhood home of a former NFL running back."
"But not much of Red House is man-made anymore. The post office, the schoolhouse, the inn, the chemical plant and the lumber railroad have all been erased from memory, without even the slightest bit of remaining evidence to suggest they ever existed. On Monday, the demise continues. Contractors were scheduled to demolish one of the oldest homes in the town."
