Elmhurst, New York

Elmhurst, New York is located in western Queens, and has come a long way since troubles in the 1980s. Those moving to Elmhurst will discover a thriving place for families, housed in a mix of older multi-family homes, and co-op and apartment buildings. Immigrants, especially from Asia and Latin America, have made Elmhurst the most diverse part of Queens.

History:
The village was established in 1652 by the Dutch as Middenburgh, and was a suburb of New Amsterdam in New Netherland. The original settlers of Elmhurst were from the nearby colony of Maspat, following threats and attacks by local Indians. When the British took over New Netherland in 1664, they renamed Middleburgh as New Town to maintain the Dutch heritage. This was eventually simplified to Newtown. Among the English settlers in the present Elmhurst section of Newtown was Gershom Moore, in whose orchard a chance seedling produced the Newtown Pippin, Colonial America's most famous apple. Newtown was established as the Town Seat for the Township of the same name when it was established in 1683. The village was renamed Elmhurst in 1896 to identify the area with a new housing development, to avoid association with the larger Township and the Creek, and again to maintain the Dutch heritage. "Hurst" means "grove" or "woods" in Dutch. Once Queens joined the city of Greater New York in 1898, Elmhurst developed into a fashionable district due to a housing development that was built by the Cord Meyer Development Company between 1896 and 1910, north of the Port Washington Branch railroad station. They expanded their holdings between 1905 and 1930, including Elmhurst Square, Elmhurst South, Elmhurst Heights and New Elmhurst. Prior to World War II, Elmhurst was an almost exclusively Jewish and Italian neighborhood. Following the war, Elmhurst evolved into what has been considered one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in New York City. By the 1980s, there were persons from 112 nations in residence. Despite the decline of crime compared to their peaks during the crack and heroin epidemics, crime is not a problem in the community.

Economy:
Elmhurst is home to two urban shopping malls. The recently expanded Queens Center, the most profitable mall per square foot in the United States, and the recently renovated and expanded Queens Place Mall, a smaller round shopping center originally built as a Macy's branch. It also has many furniture stores adjacent to Grand Avenue on Queens Boulevard. New York has long been one of the leading financial centers in the world, and today several of New York City's 25 largest employers are financial companies. Corporate giants in the industry that have their headquarters in Manhattan include J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Citigroup, and Merrill Lynch. New York City is also a world leader in international trade, transportation, and tourism, all of which contribute significantly to the city's economy. Television and film production in New York City constitutes another growth industry, demonstrating a significant increase in the number of overall shooting days for movies, videos, advertisements, and television programs. Almost 150 studios and stages support the industry, and film production costs in the city are now so reasonable that they rival those of Los Angeles.

Tourism:
While in town, head over to the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art. This unique museum offers an inside look at the history of stonecutting. Even those who do not know much about the craft will enjoy the engaging experience found at this one-of-a-kind historical attraction. Then, it is off to the world-famous Elmhurst Theater. New York’s largest theater, Elmhurst offers an array of performances throughout the year. The theater itself was built in 1928, and currently seats 2,200 guest comfortably. Of course, While in Elmhurst you are only minutes from New York City. Home to some of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, New York City is the ideal place to spend a day: Visit the Statue of Liberty, experience Time Square and catch a game with the starts at Yankee Stadium.

Interesting Facts:

  • Elmhurst is also the home of one of the largest theaters in New York. The Elmwood Theatre was built in 1928 and seats 2,200 people.
