From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Queens is the largest in area, the second largest in population, and the easternmost of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is coextensive with Queens County, an administrative division of New York state, in the United States. Located on the western portion of Long Island, Queens is home to two of the three major New York City area airports, JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport. It is also the location of the New York Mets baseball team, the US Open tennis tournament, Flushing Meadows Park, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and Silvercup Studios. As of the 2005 American Community Survey, immigrants comprise 47.6% of Queens residents. With a population of 2.3 million it is the second most populous borough in New York City (behind Brooklyn) and the tenth most populous county in the United States. It is also the nation's fourth-most-densely populated county (after the counties covering Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx). The 2.3 million figure is the highest historical population for the borough. Were each borough an independent city, Brooklyn and Queens would be the fourth- and fifth-largest cities in the United States, respectively. If Queens were its own city it would be the fourth largest by population in the U.S. New York's Five Boroughs at a Glance Jurisdiction Population Land Area Borough of County of estimate for 1 July 2008 square miles square km Manhattan New York 1,634,795 23 59 the Bronx Bronx 1,391,903 42 109 Brooklyn Kings 2,556,598 71 183 Queens Queens 2,293,007 109 283 Staten Island Richmond 487,407 58 151 City of New York 8,363,710 303 786 State of New York 19,490,297 47,214 122,284 Source: United States Census BureauQueens was established in 1683 as one of the original 12 counties of New York and was supposedly named for the Queen consort, Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705), the Portuguese princess who married King Charles II of England in 1662. The borough is often considered one of the more suburban boroughs (in comparison to Manhattan standards) of New York City. Neighborhoods in central Queens (except those situated along Queens Boulevard and the neighborhoods of Flushing and Jamaica), southern Queens, and eastern Queens have a look and feel similar to the bordering suburbs of western Nassau County. In its northwestern section, however, Queens is home to many urban neighborhoods and several central business districts. Long Island City, on the Queens' waterfront across from Manhattan, is the site of the Citicorp Building, the tallest skyscraper in New York City outside of Manhattan, and the tallest building on geographic Long Island.

I want to know approximate how long it will take to get to queens (belt parkway/cross island parkway) from the Jersey Turnpike. from the entrance into new jersey from pennsylvania. coming from south and getting to new york. So, in other words, from the very start of the Jersey Turnpike, how long would it take to get to Queens? Asked by Celia - Wed Nov 26 18:16:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. well obviously it depends on where in jersey you are starting from. I live north of newark in essex and I can get over the verrazano bridge into brooklyn in about an hour. edit: it would take you around 2 hrs, depending on traffic and when you make the trip. it's very easy and almost impossible to get lost. take the jersey turnpike north towards newark, get off at staten island, go over the goethals bridge, stay on the staten island expressway, go over the varrazono bridge, and you're right on the belt parkway. those bridges are tolls, and the varrazono is a monster. enjoy driving over that. it freaks me out.
