At 120 square miles, this is the largest of the city’s five boroughs. It’s bigger, in fact, than Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island put together. When the English took over in 1664, they divided the colony into ten counties, naming this one for Queen Catherine of Braganza, the wife of King Charles II. Until it became part of Greater New York, its territory extended out to the eastern end of Long Island, which broke away to form Nassau and Suffolk Counties, rejecting the opportunity to become part of the city in a special election held in 1897. Even today, many Queensites, who still cling to the names of the old villages, have their mail addressed to such places as Elmhurst, Long Island.
