History
The Brooklyn Division was originally formed in 1866 (originally known as Star in the East Lodge), as part of The International Order of Good Templars. In 1883 the Society changed its affiliation to become a division of the Sons of Temperance. The Brooklyn Division of the Sons of Temperance was the last operating division in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia and closed in 1992. The Brooklyn Temperance Society met in a building that is located on the Brooklyn Road (Brooklyn, Yarmouth County) in proximity to the junction of Highway 101.
