Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated History of the Borough of Queens, New York City For these reasons the history of the Borough 'of Queens-contained in the fol lowing pages does not confine itself to the past. It does indeed furnish a complete sketch of the settlement of the territory from the time when the first white man set foot upon the soil of Long Island, and it follows the efforts made to change a wilder ness into a blooming garden through the march Of the centuries, but it goes further. It shows how the borough has been developed, and in what manner, and for what reasons it is apt to grow in the future. It points out the great natural advantages the territory possesses, and the enterprises which, in the near future, will tend to bring about even greater changes than the past has produced. The history naturally deals with the men who have played important roles in the shaping of the destinies of the localities now forming the Borough of Queens in the past, and who have left their mark upon the conditions evolving slowly from insecurity almost amounting at times to chaos, until a staple and regular government was formed. But it shows, in addi tion, in the biographies of men who are at the present time interested in the welfare of the borough, and who, in public life or private enterprise, are devoting themselves to the upbuilding of the community, the forces that are at work. No better way could be found, in our opinion, to show what Queens is now, and what it is destined to be, for the work of man, even if intended for the day only, always influences the future and it is impossible to draw a line that divides sharply the work of those living from that of coming generations. Those who come after us will have to build upon what we have accomplished; they cannot entirely get away from it, and even if they choose new paths, they must reckon with those laid out by their forerunners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queens Borough Industrially, Queens ranked 4th among the cities and Boroughs of New York State and 17th among the principal cities of the United States as to the value of its manufactured products, their value in 1909 being $151, and increased 314 per cent. Within ten years. In 1911, there were new buildings constructed within the Bor ough at an estimated cost of an increase of 46 per cent. Over the year 1910. The records of the Board of Health show that Queens is healthy, for the death rate in Queens in 1911 was not only the lowest of any Borough in New York City, but of any of the first twenty cities in size in the United States. Its banking facilities are the best and its many banks have ample capital. Its schools and churches are unexcelled. Its transpor tation facilities connecting with Manhattan and Brooklyn are excellent and millions of dollars are now being expended in improving these facilities. It has over 196 miles of natural water front and 20 miles of docks on the East River, Long Island Sound, Jamaica Bay, and Atlantic Ocean. The tonnage on Newtown Creek for 1910 was greater than the combined ton nage of all the canals of the State of New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queens Borough, New York City, 1910-1920: The Borough of Homes and Industry The expenditure Of this vast sum of money has resulted in making Queens Borough, once but a county on Long Island now a real integral part of New York City. Its many residential and industrial centers which even today are separated by large, undeveloped, intervening areas, are expanding so rapidly that they will soon grow into one continuous built-up community. The growth of Queens Borough during the past ten years, despite the lack of cheaper transit facilities, has been marvelous. What it will be in the next ten years with transit facilities equal, and in many cases, superior to every other section of New York City, will surprise even the most confident. Today Queens is well started on the most wonderful development that has ever taken place in any borough of New York City, or, for that matter, in any city of the world. It is the purpose of this publication to set forth the commercial, industrial, financial and residential advantages and possibilities of the Borough of Queens considered by itself. It is not generally realized how great a city Queens Borough would be separated from its political connections with New York City. With an area of 117 square miles, or 3770 of the land area of New York, it is as large as Philadelphia and three times as large as Boston. With a population of in 1920 it would be among the first twelve cities in the United States. Industrially, Queens ranks 15th in the annual value of its manufactured products. Not more than three cities in the country exceed it in the value of plans filed for new buildings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
