Neighborhoods
Astoria has an interesting history that makes it a particularly fun area to explore. Here are some fun facts to help you get to know this unique neighborhood in Queens:
It was named after wealthy businessman John Jacob Astor to entice his investment in the area. He only made a small contribution and never set foot in it, but the name remained.
In the 1920s, it was home to the eastern location of Paramount Studios, and a quarter of the studio’s movies were made here.
The Dutch first settled here, but the area has had an influx of a variety of immigrants over the years from Italy (after World War II), Greece (after 1965) and a number of Muslim countries like Lebanon, Egypt and Syria (mid-1970s). This has resulted in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City.
