New York - New York City - Queens
![]() ![]() ![]() Since the creation of Greater New York in 1898, Queens has grown faster, relatively, than any other borough, yet with the exception of Staten Island it is still the least developed. The "borough of homes" is an amalgam of several score of towns and villages, some three centuries old, others no older than yesterday's real-estate boom. Several of these communities still have independent post-office designations. The neighborhoods of the borough range from intensively industrialized Long Island City and such large-scale residential developments as Forest Hills and Kew Gardens, to the numerous beach colonies and isolated islets of the Rockaways. Long Island City lies opposite mid-town Manhattan; near the Brooklyn-Queens borough line are Maspeth, Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodhaven, Ozone Park; east of Long Island City and in the central part of the borough, Woodside, Winfield, Elmhurst, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Jamaica, Hollis, St. Albans, Queens Village; along the North Shore, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Corona, Flushing, College Point, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston, and Little Neck.
