  • WELCOME : Bayside, Queens

Bayside is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, bordered by Whitestone to the northwest, the Long Island Sound and Little Neck Bay to the northeast, Douglaston to the east, Oakland Gardens to the south, and Fresh Meadows to the west. CNN Money has ranked Bayside as one of the most expensive housing markets in the country for comparable detached homes. Despite its large number of free-standing homes, Bayside has a high population density.

The first known written occurrence of the name “Bayside” was in a deed dated 1798, spelled as “Bay Side.” In the 19th century, Bayside was primarily farmland and served as a rural resort for wealthy Manhattan residents. In the 1920s and 1930s, the presence of movie studios in nearby Astoria attracted movie stars to Bayside, where many lived in upscale homes. After World War II, residential development in Bayside increased significantly, particularly due to its station on the Long Island Rail Road’s Port Washington Branch, providing direct train access to Manhattan.

  • History

Bayside’s history dates back to 2000 B.C. when the Matinecock Native American tribe first settled there. Around 1637, the Dutch West India Company encouraged Dutch farmers to settle on land grants in what was then called New Amsterdam. William Lawrence from England built the first permanent structure, a stone farmhouse, in 1644 when he settled in Bayside. Twenty years later, England took control of New Amsterdam, renamed it the Province of New York, and English settlers began to populate the area. When Queens County was officially established in 1683, the Town of Flushing was one of the original five towns, and present-day Bayside was within its boundaries. During the American Revolutionary War, whaleboatmen from Connecticut raided the Bayside–Little Neck area, which was occupied by the British military.

The first known written occurrence of the name “Bayside” was in a deed dated 1798, written as “Bay Side.” In the 19th century, Bayside was primarily farmland and served as a rural resort for wealthy Manhattan residents.

Although the Bayside House burned down in 1906, Crocheron’s name endures as the namesake of the 45-acre Crocheron Park.
