Re: Subway stations named after neighborhoods

Posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Sep 16 17:37:41 2020, in response to Subway stations named after neighborhoods, posted by rbseabeach on Wed Sep 16 15:24:45 2020.

If you include names that use a neighborhood as a subtitle, but not those that were added in the 1990s:

Sheepshead Bay
Brighton Beach
Morris Park
East 177th Street-Parkchester
Cypress Hills
Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island
71st-Continental Avenue-Forest Hills
Main Street-Flushing
179th Street-Jamaica
Jamaica Center-Parsons Boulevard
Howard Beach
Beach 116th Street-Rockaway Park
Mott Avenue-Far Rockaway
Broad Channel
Beach 105th Street-Seaside
Beach 90th Street-Holland
Beach 36th Street-Edgemere
Beach 25th Street-Wavecrest
168th Street-Washington Heights
Roosevelt Island
21st Street-Queensbridge

That's more than 19. I haven't included stations named after parks, institutions, squares/intersections, unless that's also the name of the surrounding neighborhood.

Honorable mention goes to "Mott Haven", the original name of 138th Street-Grand Concourse. I didn't include "Woodlawn" because it's based on the former name of Bainbridge Avenue north of 205th Street "Woodlawn Road."
