Flushing is in the northern part of Queens bound by Whitestone Expressway, Bayside Avenue and the LIE. Known as defining north Queens, Flushing is all of central Queens from Maspeth to Whitestone. This historic neighborhood is the largest urban center of the borough and the largest Chinatown in New York City. Prosperous Chinese and Korean communities have grown to be the dominant groups.

Founded in 1644, Flushing was one of the first Dutch settlements in the area under the Dutch West India Company and named after the city of Vlissingeg. English colonists like John Bowne lived in Flushing in the early days. Bowne allowed Quaker meetings to take place at his house, despite the prohibition imposed by Peter Stuyvesant. The Flushing Remonstrance, signed in 1657, protested religious persecution and led to the Dutch West Indian Company to allow Quakers to worship freely. From this, Flushing claims to be the birthplace of religious freedom in the new world.

Flushing was the site of the first commercial tree nurseries is North America, and the northern section of Kissena Park still contains a wide variety of exotic trees. Flushing also supplies trees to Central Park in Manhattan.

The 1939-1940 World’s Fair was held in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, with preparations beginning in 1936 and eliminating the Corona dumps.

The 1964-1965 World’s Fair was also held in the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and two Westinghouse Time Capsules were buried in the park dedicated to the years 1938 and 1965.

The Flushing Meadows-Corona Park also houses the Queens Museum of Art, Queens Theatre in the Park, the New York Hall of Science and the Queens Zoo. The Queens Botanical Garden on Main Street has been opened and operated since it was an exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair.
