What Queens looked like in the Roaring Twenties through Spectacular Historic Photos

by Dennis Saul 217 Views

Queens in the 1920s wasn’t just a neighbor to the bustling metropolis of Manhattan. It was a unique world, evolving from quiet farmland and small villages into a vibrant hub of activity. The borough’s population boomed, reaching over 700,000 by the end of the decade. People from all walks of life, including European immigrants, African Americans escaping the South, and families moving from Manhattan, flocked to Queens seeking new opportunities and a fresh start.

The landscape of Queens was changing rapidly. Rows of crops and open fields gave way to rows of houses and paved streets. New neighborhoods like Jackson Heights and Astoria sprung up, offering affordable housing options for the growing population

Entertainment and Leisure

Life in Queens wasn’t all work and no play. The 1920s saw a surge in entertainment options. Movie theaters, like the Valencia Theatre in Jamaica and the Earle Theatre in Jackson Heights, became popular spots for enjoying the latest flicks. Dance halls, like the Sunnyside Gardens Arena, offered a place to swing and sway to the rhythms of jazz and popular tunes. For those seeking thrills, amusement parks like Fairyland Park in Whitestone provided exciting rides and attractions.

Sports Take Center Stage

Sports played a major role in the lives of many Queens residents. Baseball diamonds and soccer fields popped up in parks and open spaces. The New York Giants baseball team even considered building a stadium in Queens before ultimately settling on the Polo Grounds in Manhattan. Horse racing enthusiasts flocked to Aqueduct Racetrack, which opened its doors in 1894 and continued to draw crowds throughout the 1920s.

A Culinary Journey

The diverse population of Queens brought with it a rich tapestry of culinary traditions. Italian immigrants opened pizzerias and pasta restaurants, introducing New Yorkers to the flavors of their homeland. German bakeries offered a tempting array of breads, pastries, and cakes. Jewish delis served up classic comfort foods like pastrami on rye and matzo ball soup. These culinary treasures added to the cultural richness of the borough and remain popular fixtures in Queens even today.

Transportation Transformation

Getting around Queens became easier with the expansion of public transportation. The elevated train lines, known as the “els,” extended further into the borough, connecting residents to Manhattan and other parts of the city. Streetcars crisscrossed the neighborhoods, providing a convenient way to travel locally. The development of the Queensboro Bridge, completed in 1909, offered a direct link to Manhattan, further solidifying Queens’ connection to the heart of New York City.
