I know Jamaica was a Village, as well as Whitestone, but all the neighborhoods in queens were incorporated villages.Some of today's neighborhoods didn't exist in 1898. Sunnyside and Lefrak City come to mind. A lot of pre-existing geographical features like creeks and streams that separated communities have since been filled in or diverted. Some hamlets have disappeared (North Beach?). Determining boundaries between what came later can only be made within present realities. |
