Flushing Real Estate:
This town was one of the original four towns of Queens, and covered
the entire northeastern portion of the county. It was settled in 1639
by Quakers who had fled religious persecution in their own lands and
gave their settlement the name of Vlissengen, for the city of that name
in Holland. Later this was changed to Flushing by the English. Even
here, however, the settlers were not permitted to worship as they pleased,
and John Bowne was deported to Holland because he permitted his friend
John Fox to hold religious services in his house. Bowne was acquitted
and returned to his home, which still stands on Bowne Street. The area's
history of acceptance continues today with a vast variety of ethnic
and cultural groups, including a recent influx of Asians. In the 18th
and 19th centuries, Flushing was known for its nurseries, which President
George Washington visited in 1790. This legacy continues it the neighborhood's
varied trees. "Downtown" Flushing, centered on the subway terminal at
Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, is a densely developed commercial
and residential area; there is also an industrial section along Flushing
Creek. Surrounding areas of a wide variety of home types are more sedate.
The current home of many Asian immigrants, Flushing's original immigrants
were settlers from England and northern Europe in the 1600s. Flushing's
Town Hall is an excellent example of bygone architecture. The oldest
house of worship in New York City, the Quaker Friends Meeting House,
was erected here in 1694.
