About Astoria



Astoria is a neighborhood north-west corner of the borough of Queens in New York City. Is located in the Executive Board 1, Astoria is bounded by the East River and is adjacent to three other Queens neighborhoods: Long Island City (bordering at Broadway), Sunnyside (bordering at Northern Boulevard) and Woodside (bordering at 50th Street).

Astoria was first settled by Dutch and Germans in the first half of the 17th century. The next wave of immigration came from the 1890s when the newly arrived Czech, Irish and Italian immigrants moved to Astoria. By 1920, Irish immigrants founded many of the neighborhood's Catholic parishes - Our Lady of Mount Caramel, St. Patrick's, St. Mary's, Immaculate Conception, most precious blood, and St. Joseph's. Most of these churches continue to serve the Catholic community, which now includes the latest coming from Latin America and Eastern Europe.

1960 saw a large number of ethnic Greeks from Greece, Albania, Cyprus and the settlement of Astoria - is arguably the neighborhood has the highest concentration of Greeks outside Greece. Greek cultural imprint can be seen in the numerous Greek restaurants, bakeries, bars and cafes, as well as a number of well-known Greek Orthodox churches.

Since the early 1990s, Astoria has seen a recent wave of immigration from Central and Eastern Europe, especially coming from Bosnia, Croatia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Albania. New immigrant groups in the Middle East, Tibet, Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Latin America, Brazil and Southern Europe have also settled the neighborhood, reflecting the general trend in the ethnic diversity of Queens County.
Many of these ethnic groups have maintained cultural ties by establishing sports and social clubs, as well as other community based organizations.

There are different opinions as to what is the geographical boundaries of Astoria. Traditionally, the South Broadway was the most time, but many residents and businesses south of Broadway identify themselves Astorians for convenience, since Long Island City are strictly industrial. Steinway Street Astoria, with the eastern part (see below), which is its main thoroughfare is sometimes called the Steinway and the subject of a separate neighborhood.

Astoria N and W are served by metro line running along the track 31 above the highest Street. Subway stops are located in a number of east-west route, which is Ditmars Boulevard, which extends eastward from Astoria park around the Marine Air Terminal at Laguardia Airport. The next major avenue south of Ditmars subway stop, with the Astoria Boulevard, bounded by the Grand Central Parkway and the Triborough Bridge. Below is the 30th Avenue stop, then Broadway.

The farthest south is the 36th Avenue, a small commercial strip, which is known as the Bay of Bengal region, traditional restaurants and shops. The primary streets running north-south are Vernon Boulevard along the East River 21 Street, a major traffic artery with a mix of residential, commercial and industrial areas, 31 Street and Steinway Street (known as the Steinway & Sons piano factory), a major commercial street in a number of retail shops, and a very well-known Middle Eastern section between Astoria Boulevard and 28th Avenue.

Originally, Astoria was known as Hallet's Cove, but was converted after a famous millionaire John Jacob Astor, in order to convince him to invest $ 2000 is the neighborhood. He has invested only in the neighborhood of $ 500, but the name remained. It is said that Astoria was named as the man who has never set foot in it. A bitter battle over naming the village, finally won by supporters and friends of John Jacob Astor (1763-1848). Astor, the Real Estate Tycoon, and had become the richest man in America in 1840 with a net worth of more than $ 40 million. As it turns out Astor did not live in "Astoria" in its summer home, built in Manhattan, which is now East 87. Street near York Avenue, where he does not see the new Long Island village of the river's name in its honor.
