First Time Coming to Astoria, New York – Did You Know?
YESTERDAY
The area now called Astoria has always been a notable recreational destination and resort for Manhattan’s wealthy. Previously called Halsey, it was renamed after John Jacob Astor, who was at the time the wealthiest man in America – net worth over $40 million – to persuade him to invest just $2,000 there. After investing just $500, the name stuck, after a bitter battle over naming the community was finally won by Astor’s friends and supporters. Even though Astor’s summer home in Hell Gate, Manhattan can see across the East River the village named in his honor, he had never actually set foot in Astoria.
Economic and commercial growth in the later part of the 19th century had brought increased immigration from German settlers who were often furniture and cabinet makers. One of these settlers was Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg, the patriarch of the Steinway family who began the piano company Steinway & Sons in 1853. Today it is a worldwide piano company. The family even created Steinway Village for their workers, a company town providing school instruction in German and English.
TODAY
With a population of 154,000, Astoria is a middle class and commercial neighborhood located in the northwestern corner of the Queens, New York City borough. Astoria is bound in by the East River and adjacent to three other Queens neighborhoods including Long Island City, Sunnyside, and Woodside.
The Dutch and Germans were the first to settle Astoria in the 17th century, with the 19th and early 20th century bringing waves of Irish immigration into New York City later. Italians were the next sizeable group of immigrants in Astoria. Particularly in the Ditmars Boulevard area, one can find numerous Italian restaurants, bakeries, delis, and pizza shops throughout Astoria. Another significant ethnic and religious group there are the Jews. The 1960s brought many ethnic Greeks from Greece, and in 1974, immigrants from Cyprus.
PRIME LOCATION
Geographic boundaries of Astoria are actually debatable, with the neighborhood once being part of Long Island City before incorporation into the City of New York in 1898. The area south of Astoria was called Ravenswood, and usually Broadway is considered the border between them. Today, a number of residents and businesses south of Broadway call themselves Astorians for convenience or status, since Long Island City was historically considered an industrial area. Now, Ravenswood is mainly a low-income neighborhood. The streets running north-south are Vernon Boulevard, 21st Street, 31st Street, and Steinway Street.
QUALITY OF LIFE
The Kaufman Astoria Studios’ Museum of the Moving Image, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Isamu Noguchi Museum are a few Astoria attractions. Astoria Park runs along the East River, is the area’s largest park and even contains the biggest New York City public pool which was used for the 1936 and 1964 U.S. Olympic trials. The Hell Gate Bridge and New York Connecting Railroad viaduct run high over Astoria. New York City’s oldest beer garden, Bohemian Hall, was founded in Astoria in 1910 when the city was mostly Irish, Italian, Bohemian, and Slovak. St. Michael’s Cemetery on Astoria Boulevard is where composer and pianist Scott Joplin and gangster Frank Costello are buried.
